It has been a decent year for Lionel Messi so far. On a good note, the player won many accolades, including the prestigious 2022 FIFA World Cup and the FIFA Best Player award. Superstars from various sports disciplines have congratulated him. It’s been more than 3 months since his World Cup and it seems not everyone is over the Lionel Messi hype. NBA Superstar Trae Young recently donned a Messi jersey ahead of the NBA game and even compare him to ‘God’.

Lionel Messi is indeed an influential player both on and off the pitch, so much so that the world writes songs for him. In fact, his name was summoned in Kanye West’s famous album track, “Off The Grid”. The song has, of course, caught the attention of the soccer world, and they were quite impressed with it.
