Kanye West surprised Paris Saint-Germain | Neymar welcomed him
Kanye West surprised Paris Saint-Germain | Neymar welcomed him Kanye west | Julia Fox | Neymar | Messi | PSG What is the Lionel Messi reference in 'Donda'? Kanye West born June 8, 1977, in Atlanta, Georgia. Kanye West and his mother, Donda West, relocated to Chicago, Illinois, when Kanye West was 3, following his parents’ divorce. Kanye West got his music career start as a producer. Paris Saint-Germain are a club well-used to having superstars both in their playing squad and in the stands watching their matches, but the Ligue 1 leaders played host to an extra-special guest this week as Kanye West dropped by for a visit. In town for Paris Fashion Week, West had been spotted at various events and venues in the French capital with his partner, actor Julia Fox. West and Fox caused a minor stir on social media when they pitched up at the Kenzo Men's Fall/Winter 2022/2023 show wearing unusual matching double-denim outfits, and then again at the Schiaparelli show in coordinated all-leather ensembles. But the hip-hop titan took a detour from the world of haute couture on Wednesday in order to drop in on PSG's Camp des Loges training ground. West met with Neymar, who presented the rapper with his very own personalised PSG jersey, complete with his nickname and No. 10 on the back. West will have been delighted to have seen Lionel Messi make his shock free transfer to PSG. Just a few weeks after Messi left Barcelona for the French capital last August, West released his 10th studio album, "DONDA," on which the track "Off the Grid" includes the line: "Don't try to test me I keep it clean, but they could get messy I talk to God every day, that's my bestie They playin' soccer in my backyard. I think I see Messi" West's visit to PSG comes just a few days after he appeared to hint on Instagram at an imminent collaboration with the Jordan brand, which produces some of PSG's kits and accompanying apparel. The rapper shared an image of the iconic "Jumpman" logo as well as a screenshot of a quote from Michael Jordan's eldest son, Marcus, in which the 31-year-old expressed his eagerness to see Jordan, West and producer DJ Khaled discuss a combined project this year. What is the Messi reference on Kanye West's new album Donda? The rapper name-drops the Paris Saint-Germain and Argentina star on his latest record, and here's everything you need to know about it After several delays (that included finishing up the album at a makeshift studio at Mercedes-Benz stadium), Kanye West's long-anticipated tenth studio album has finally been released. Named after the rapper's late mother, 'Donda' contains 27 tracks – one of which includes a mention to Barcelona icon Lionel Messi. So what exactly is the Messi reference in 'Donda', and how does the verse go? Goal takes a look. West makes a reference to the current PSG star in the track 'Off the Grid', which also features Fivio Foreign and Playboy Carti. It's the first time that West has name-dropped the Argentina legend in his music, and comes as a surprise as West hasn't been particularly known to be a football fan. The verse goes: "Don't try to test me. I keep it clean, but they could get messy. I talk to God every day. That's my bestie. They playin' soccer in my backyard. I think I see Messi." Messi isn't he only athlete that West alludes to in 'Donda', though. Elsewhere on the record, West mentions Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo in track 'Junya', which also features Playboi Carti. The lyrics go: "I won with the bucks, boy / Let me Giannis." There was no mention of Cristiano Ronaldo anywhere in 'Donda' – so does this settle the "GOAT" debate once and for all? What team does Kanye West support? Despite West seemingly being involved in a lot of football culture recently – he had an extended stay at Atlanta United's stadium wrapping up 'Donda' and was seen in the stands with fans watching a game, in addition to the Messi lyric – the rapper's soccer allegiances have never been confirmed. It has been suggested that West had at least some ties to Atlanta United, given that he chose to finish his album while living at their stadium and holding his first listening event. But West, being a Chicago native (though born in Atlanta), could instead have his allegiances lie with hometown club Chicago Fire. As far as European clubs go, he has been previously photographed in Manchester United gear, the the club showing him off on their social media in 2018. Verse 4 of "Off the Grid" lyrics in full First, it go viral, then they get digital Then they get critical, no, I'm not doin' no interview Mask on my face, you can't see what I'm finna do Had to move away from people that's miserable Don't wanna link you, I ain't finna sit with you Ain't finna talk to you, ain't finna get with you Don't get me mad just 'cause I don't wanna injure you She put my paintings inside of her living room Look at the problems and issues I'm livin' through They tryna drown me, I rise to my pinnacle Walked through the block like the neighborhood general Drop me the lo' and then that's where I send it to I was forgettin' you, now I remember, now I remember Did what I want and I say what I want And I thought you was with me, like how you get sensitive? I got this God power, that's my leverages I got this Holy Water, that's my beverages I gotta help myself out of selfishness I just bought a floor out of Selfridges I gotta make sure they know who they messin' with I gotta tell 'em "sorry," they too delicate I gotta stay with God where the blessings is I ain't deliverin' Heavenly messages just for the hell of it Don't try to test me, I keep it clean, but it can get messy I talk to God every day, that's my bestie They playin' soccer in my backyard, I think I see Messi And this money could never neglect me I pray that my family, they never resent me And she fell in love with me soon she met me We both got a bag but my bag is more heavy We had to stop countin', it's gettin' too petty You not a real stepper, you can't overstep me Just sit back and listen and watch how He bless me He wait 'til I fall and then pull up and catch me Your check is too small, you can't run up and check me Nah, nah, I get 'em fast, see You feel a way, then go pull up and get me Might do somethin' wild if I feel like you press me Nah, I get 'em fast, see You feel a way, then go pull up and get me Might do somethin' wild if I feel like you press me Source Goal ESPN
