Floyd Mayweather beat Conor McGregor in their years-in-the-making fight on Saturday night—and there were quite a few rappers who celebrated Mayweather moving to 50-0 for his career.

Snoop Dogg had this to say about Mayweather’s historic win:

Meanwhile, Talib Kweli said this:

NOW U DANCE BOY!!! HaHa

— N.O.R.E (@noreaga) August 27, 2017

And then, there was N.O.R.E., who said this:

UHYEEEEEAAAAAUH 50 & FUCKIN OHHH

— Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) August 27, 2017

That was, of course, a reference to a comment McGregor made in the weeks leading up to the fight.

But you could argue that no rapper—or hell, no person in general—was happier to see Mayweather flourish than Chance the Rapper, who took to Twitter to celebrate Mayweather’s 50th win and to troll everyone who picked McGregor to win the fight. Seriously, he went in and didn’t try to hide who he was pulling for in the fight at all. Just check out the series of tweets he sent out:

Of course, this shouldn’t really come as any surprise. On Friday, Chance appeared on ESPN’s SportsCenter and compared Mayweather to Muhammad Ali. You can watch his interview below:
