Out of all the endless debates, there’s no denying the impact of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Over the years, the world has been trying to pay tribute to these iconic stars. Earlier, apex fashion company Louis Vuitton was able to crack the code by dropping a unique ad including both legendary players.
The advertisement saw both Messi and Ronaldo playing chess while making a pose of reflection. While this promotion garnered a lot of responses from the soccer fanbase, it led to another interesting development outside the sport. Now, the very same ad has been unexpectedly recreated by Drake and J. Cole.
The singer duo has recently released a song called ‘First Person Shooter’, where in the music video, the two decided to perfectly recreate the very same iconic moment by putting their own spin on it. Remarkably, the imitation is quite close to the original Messi-Ronaldo collaboration.

Several months ago, IShowSpeed, an American internet personality, dialed Drake during his live stream. Much to everyone’s astonishment, when Drake answered the call, Speed wasted no time and immediately posed a direct question, asking the celebrity to choose between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. While claiming it to be a sticky question, the rapper answered Ronaldo by adding that it may not go well for him.
Additionally, the renowned pop star didn’t shy away and ended the debate with his next few words. He said, “I mean I know it’s Messi’s moment right now but for me, I just always been a Ronaldo fan you know. I’m like you”. Hence, it’s clear that the Portuguese soccer legend is the ‘GOAT’ in Drake’s mind. Yet, it is quite interesting to know that the singer has given a shoutout to both legends in a few of his songs.
