Drake Mentions Ronaldo In New Track "Blue Tint"

Drake has finally dropped his much anticipated fifth studio album 'Scorpion' today and football fans have quickly picked up on the lyrics in his track 'Blue Tint' which shouts out a certain Cristiano Ronaldo.

Drake has made no secret of his admiration for the football scene, having previous worn football jerseys on stage and forged friendships with the game's leading personalities including Paul Pogba, Neymar, Mario Balotelli, and Mesut Ozil to name just a few. But it's Real Madrid icon CR7 who he's shouted out, mentioning the Portugal captain's lavish lifestyle.

The line "Way this shit set up I live like Ronaldo, but I never been to Madrid" features in the first verse, leading football fans to react across social media. Drake has been widely rumoured of being on the verge of signing an adidas deal, but a shoutout to CR7 rather than Messi has split fan opinion.

Anyone else had enough of GOAT references?
