Hip-hop icon and Miami native, Luther Campbell, better known by his stage name Uncle Luke, took to Twitter on Wednesday to voice his opinion on the state of Florida Atlantic’s football program following the dismissal of head coach Charlie Partridge on Sunday after three straight 3-9 seasons.

The former leader of rap group, 2 Live Crew, voiced his displeasure with FAU stemming from the university’s decision to hire a consulting firm to aid in the search of its next head coach.
