Leo Messi has been a sensation for Inter Miami since joining the team last month, and scored his 10th goal in just seven games on Saturday night during their Leagues Cup final victory.

Hip Hop has joined soccer fans in welcoming Messi to Miami as Diddy and DJ Khaled are among those who have shown up to games in recent weeks.

Florida native Rick Ross personally welcomed the soccer deity to the M-I-Yayo with an Instagram post earlier in August.

“@leomessi welcome to Miami. Now let’s celebrate with this bottle of @officialbelaire [champagne classes emoji],” he wrote.

“Messi, I pulled out the Batmobile just to come show you love,” Rozay added while standing next to his Lamborghini in a separate post on his Instagram Story. “Messi, welcome to 305.”

The former Barcelona and PSG star also recently used Lil Baby‘s music during his packed MLS introduction, walking out at the DRV PNK Stadium as “The World Is Yours to Take” boomed through the speakers.

The OG Parker-produced track, which samples the 1985 Tears For Fears’ hit “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” has roots in the sport as it was one of the official soundtracks for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

“Before anything, I want to give thanks to Miami for this reception and the kindness since I arrived to the city,” Messi said in Spanish while addressing the fans. “To be honest, I’m very emotional and very happy to be here in Miami and to be with you.

“I’m very happy to have chosen to come to this city with my family and to have chosen this project. I don’t have a doubt that we’ll enjoy it and we’ll have a good time and beautiful things will happen.”

Messi and Inter Miami will have their work cut out for them when the MLS season resumes later this month as they currently sit at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with just five wins in 22 games.
