VIDEO: Cristiano Ronaldo and 5-Time Grammy Award Winner Lil Wayne Did a Cameo Together in the Most Random Crossover Ever in 2014

Cristiano Ronaldo is gearing up for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. He will lead the line for Portugal in the upcoming soccer mega-event. However, CR7 has already tasted a lot of success in his career with different European clubs and the Portuguese national team. After the 2014 FIFA World Cup, in which Portugal crashed out in the group stages, he went to the USA with Real Madrid for the International Champions Cup. During the 2014 pre-season tour, he met with 5x Grammy Award-winning rapper Lil Wayne.

Cristiano Ronaldo‘s meeting with Lil Wayne was undoubtedly very unexpected. However, rumors suggested that Lil Wayne was starting his own sports management agency and wanted to sign Ronaldo at the time. Lil Wayne’s ‘Weezy Wednesdays’ show hosted Ronaldo when the player came to the US. Their link-up was bizarre and unexpected for fans around the world.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lil Wayne’s link-up in 2014

When Cristiano Ronaldo and Lil Wayne jammed in 2014, a report from TMZ claimed that the rapper was starting his own sports agency. It was reported that the two will link up through the agency. However, CR7 quashed those rumors later, saying that he will continue with his own agency. So, it appeared that it was just a small meeting between the two.

Lil Wayne has been active in the music industry for around 25 years now. He has produced some of the most successful rap albums of all time. His award cabinet includes five Grammy Awards, 11 BET Awards, four Billboard Music Awards, and two MTV Video Music Awards, among many others. Before meeting Ronaldo in July 2014, he released ‘Tha Carter V’, a studio album with Drake.

Cristiano Ronaldo is currently in the headlines for his recent interview with British journalist Piers Morgan. In the interview, he criticized Manchester United for “betraying him”. He also called out the Red Devils’ manager Erik ten Hag for not respecting him. This has sparked huge outrage among Manchester United fans. However, the club is yet to take any action against the player at the moment.
