Lionel Messi received a bizarre mention from a celebrity. Known to be a music lover, Messi and his wife Antonela appreciate music concerts by artists like Ed Sheeran and Coldplay. However, this time the World Cup winner has been on an unexpected end of the story. A recent ‘autism’ analogy to the Argentinian star by a famous music artist has jaw-dropped the fanbase.

The Argentinian is one of the most famous athletes in the world. Even the biggest celebrities give a shoutout or honorably mention Lionel Messi in the media. However, Anuel AA bizarrely had other plans.

What did Anuel AA say about Lionel Messi?

The Argentine star is liked by many international music figures. The star was even named in a few songs by Drake, Travis Scott, and others. However, Puerto Rico’s Anuel AA was seen in a video mentioning Lionel Messi as autistic. He said, “Just look at Messi. Messi is autistic, and he is the most influential person in the world. That’s why I don’t feel autism is a disease.”

The rapper is not new to the soccer world. His ex-girlfriend Karol G collaborated with Shakira on a song named TGQ, which received appreciation from Messi’s wife Antonela. The song was a disstrack which took a dig at the rapper and Gerard Pique. The rapper is a well-known personality in the Latin American music industry.
