Recently in a viral Instagram reel, IShowSpeed was spotted making an important appeal to his favorite club, Al Nassr FC’s manager Luis Castro.

After Messi was spotted a handshake with an Al-Nassr player, the young man proudly jumped up from his seat, yelled his slogan, “Ronaldo better,” and insulted the World Cup champion.
It remains to be seen what happens with Lionel Messi and his side, Inter Miami FC in the upcoming MLS 2024-24 season. Also, IShowSpeed will be keeping a close eye on his idol’s biggest rival and how he performs this new MLS season.
