Above, you can watch a video of when Drake met Manchester United FC’s Rio Ferdinand, courtesy of SoulCulture. They talk about music, sportsmanship, teamwork, and more.
“I have a line on my album where I say, ‘Sports and music are so synonymous, ’cause we wanna be them and they wanna be us’… I feel that way – if I couldn’t rap, I would wanna be here in this building,” visiting rap star Drake tells 4nB from the Manchester United team’s training grounds [referring to the song, “Thank Me Now”], whilst on the UK leg of his Lightdreams & Nightmares tour.
“I feel the same way,” UK football star Rio Ferdinand nods in agreement, as the pair comment on the similarities between the lifestyles of pop stars and sporting stars when it comes to performing, motivation, showmanship, team spirit and female attention.
