Superstar Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre has reportedly reached out to show support to incarcerated rapper Lil Wayne. Young Money president Mack Maine told MTV that the future Hall of Famer passed some words of encouragement on to Weezy.

"Brett reached out, and he made sure I told Wayne that. That was the first thing [Brett] asked when he got back to camp, really. [Vikings tackle] Bryant McKinnie is one of our friends, B-Mac. [Favre] asked B-Mac, 'How you been?' B-Mac answered. And he was like, 'How's Wayne?' That was his second question to B-Mac. Those two are real good friends. He said, 'Let [Wayne] know I been praying for him and send him my love.' So I let Wayne know that. He said, 'You just brightened my spirits up for the rest of the month.' He was real excited."

And the admiration is mutual. Favre has long been one of Wayne's favorite players and Wayne was glad to hear that the 41-year old quarterback had decided to return to the NFL for one more season. "[Wayne's] loving that," Maine said. "That gives [Wayne] more incentive to watch this year, because that's his favorite player. Shout-out to Brett, too."
