J. Cole names Lionel Messi GOAT in new verse
In his verse, J. Cole expresses his opinion while highlighting his recent interest in football.
“T, T, shout to Lionel Messi, he’s the GOAT. Only started watching weeks ago. Why didn’t anyone tell me soccer was this exciting?” Cole raps in the OFG song.
This line combines humor with a strong statement, showing how quickly Messi can attract new fans.
It also illustrates how football is reaching wider audiences beyond its usual followers.
Messi’s 900 goals boost GOAT debate
Messi recently hit a major milestone, scoring his 900th career goal in just over 1,142 matches.
This achievement places him alongside Cristiano Ronaldo as the only players to reach this figure, and he did it in fewer games.
It further emphasizes Messi’s consistency throughout his career in club and international football.
Such moments keep the GOAT discussion alive, especially as both players continue to break records in their later years.
For newcomers like J. Cole, even a brief introduction to the sport can lead to a strong opinion on the debate.
