Cristiano Ronaldo is currently dominating the headlines after scoring a hat trick against Al Fateh in the Saudi Pro League. The Portuguese superstar bounced back with his side and managed to clinch an emphatic 5-0 victory. Despite getting his goal-scoring prowess back, a renowned American rapper has ditched CR7 in favor of the $100 million richer USA’s highest-paid athlete.

Even at the age of 38, the Portuguese superstar manages to rise against all the odds, as he undisputedly makes records. However, even after such acclaim, the Al Nassr man has been left deserted by this $160 million-worth rapper.

Ice Cubes is among the greatest rappers of all time. The pop star has a legacy that continues to inspire new generations of artists and listeners alike. Interestingly, the 54-year-old recently sat down with ESPN UK’s You Have to Answer segment, where he was asked to give an answer from any two choices.

Surprisingly, the game started with the host asking the classic question; Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. To everyone’s surprise, the rapper took no time and quickly answered Messi. It seems Cube has his answer for the never-ending debate as the popstar quickly answered $600 million rich La Pulga as his choice, thus, leaving $500 million rich CR7 deserted.

Over time, many celebrities have vocally given their response to the Messi vs. Ronaldo debate. But it seems Cube would readily join the Argentinian superstar’s team. Be that as it may, it was quite surprising to hear the rapper’s answer. Surely, Ronaldo won’t be happy to hear this.

Eight months ago, Ronaldo sent strides in soccer world after making his move to Al Nassr. Since then, he has enjoyed quite a rollercoaster ride. However, his move to the Middle East has somehow been overshadowed by Messi’s Miami move. Since La Pulga came to Fort Lauderdale, not just fortunes, but encompassing luck, on-field performance, and overall gameplay have taken a dramatic turn for Inter Miami. The 36-year-old has served as a catalyst for the Miami-based club, leading them to their inaugural silverware in a remarkable shift.

Prior to his joining, the idea of such an achievement seemed implausible, given their extended winless streak in the MLS. However, within a mere month, the landscape has entirely transformed. The former Barcelona legend is even good with numbers, scoring 10 goals and three assists. One the other hand, while Ronaldo may have won his trophy with this season and continues to bang goals, yet, it’s Messi’s presence in the Unites States that has been captivating the fans. Now, both are equal in terms of silverware, let’s see at the end of this year’s domestic season, who comes out on top.
