Drake mentioned Cristiano Ronaldo on his latest album
In "Blue Tint", the Canadian rapper dedicated a line to Real Madrid's striker
June 29th, 2018
You surely have heard of “Scorpion”, the latest studio album by Drake that dropped this morning and already creates million of reactions worldwide. If you want to know everything you should know about the Toronto-born rapper - that also has connections with the Raptors - you should read the news on nssmag, but there’s something that the non-football enthusiasts may have missed but that, of course, Twitter hasn’t. In fact, in “Scorpion” Drake mentions a Portuguese guy that from time to time plays football and that you may know as Cristiano Ronaldo.
In fact, Drake dedicated a line for CR7 in “Blue Tint”:
"Way this shit set up I live like Ronaldo, but I never been to Madrid”
The mention, that is an obvious reference to the Portuguese champion’s exaggerated lifestyle, is not Drake’s firsts approach to football, as he already performed while dressing football jerseys - there’s a famous pic of him with a pink Juventus jersey - and that can praise connections with some of the most hype footballers on the planet: Paul Pogba, Neymar, Mario Balotelli, and Mesut Özil.
Other than triggering a huge debate on whether this mention elevated Cristiano Ronaldo to the human being Olympus, Twitter also discussed how this may represent Drake’s step-back towards adidas, as many rumors wanted him ready to close a deal with the Three Stripes, while Ronaldo is the main guy for Nike in football.
Once I heard Drake name drop Ronaldo, it was over. GOAT.

I’m not okay with Drake name dropping Ronaldo and Madrid on a track. Ronaldo wouldn’t have let Messi body him on a diss track smh
