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.
