Seattle emcee Macklemore has plenty to celebrate, as the rapper’s hometown Seattle Seahawks have just been crowned Super Bowl Champions.
Macklemore was among the many rappers who reacted to the Seahawks’ thrashing of the Denver Broncos, winning 43-8. Macklemore, who performed at halftime during the Seattle-San Francisco 49ers NFC Championship game, expressed his joy on Twitter:
Been waiting my entire life….SEATTLE….WE GOT ONE! What a week. #champions@Seahawks

Another happy rapper was Game, who revealed via Instagram that he had won a $25,000 bet on the game:
“My nigga @red_miller bet me $25,000 that the Broncos would win the Super Bowl……” Game wrote. “Now I don’t fuck wit the Seahawks but nigga ‘RUN ME MY MONEY’ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Other rappers, like Royce Da 5’9 and Phonte, tweeted their displeasure during the game:
