“Great examples for the youth of Miami,” a second user commented. While one fan in particular alleged they recycled the idea, writing, “Just completely stole this idea from the Falcons. The difference is Atlanta actually had a huge impact on hip-hop, unlike Miami”
Another fan, saw the announcement as an opportunity to hype up the highly-anticipated match-up. “There’s no way we don’t win this game #FinsUp [dolphin emoji],” the comment reads.
The AFC East Championship Game is scheduled to kick off on Sunday, January 7, at 8:20 p.m. ET at Hard Rock Stadium.

The popular YouTuber asking the MMG boss to name his top three favorite rappers. Without hesitation, he rattled off two iconic New York MCs and a California-made legend, all rounding out his personal Hip Hop Mount Rushmore.
“Top three? That’s Big, that’s Pac, and that’s Hov,” he said around the 10-minute mark of the interview, published on Thursday (January 4). “And a lot of times, for the youngsters, just know that when you hear the OGs like myself and other n-ggas say those names so commonly, it’s because they had the biggest effect, you know what I’m sayin’?”

He added: “These are the n-ggas that we watched get rich. Jay, Puff, that was really the first generation that we watched get rich. Because we’ve seen artists that were hugely successful, but were they extremely wealthy? We’re not sure. Watching Run-DMC, you know, they were extremely successful. Were they widely wealthy, though? We’re not sure.”
