Lewis Hamilton wasn’t lying when he sang “I’m about to show you domination” in Christina Aguilera’s song Pipe. To Lewis’s credit, the fans really liked the song and although he featured as “XNDA”, it was not too tough to identify his voice.

They released the song back in 2018, and because Lewis has released nothing under his own name, people had questions like: why and who is XNDA?

Lewis Hamilton is a racing legend, fashion icon, and even a singer. He is beyond doubt a man of many talents and, as a result, an inspiration to many. To nobody’s surprise, he is a rapper too! Fans were quick to catch him with that soft and subtle voice, as he completed his verse within 30-33 seconds. While Aguilera was unsurprisingly good, Lewis was not very behind either.

Why was Lewis Hamilton so secretive about his identity?

Fans have known that Hamilton has been recording songs for quite a while now. He is good with music and has always wanted to release songs. Moreover, Lewis confirming his identity as XNDA was a relief for them. Though they had known for the longest time, they were happy with Hamilton coming out about his ambitions.

Two years ago, Lewis revealed how he was insecure about the song pipe, that he shied away from using his real name. The 37-year-old wanted to see everyone’s reaction first, while he expressed gratitude to Aguilera, who invited him to sing along.
