Lil Wayne Sends Kyle Shanahan Gear After Learning 49ers Coach Named Son for Him

Rapper Lil Wayne showed appreciation this week for San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan naming his son after him. 

Simms & Lefkoe tweeted a look at some autographed CDs and photos that Lil Wayne sent Shanahan:

Karen Civil previously posted a photo of Shanahan and his son, Carter, posing with the memorabilia:

In May, Chris Simms said on Simms & Lefkoe that Shanahan named his son after Lil Wayne since he is a longtime fan of the rapper.

"[Shanahan] was obsessed with Lil Wayne during my early years in the NFL," Simms said.

Lil Wayne's real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., hence the name Carter Shanahan.
