Renowned musicians Drake and J. Cole have recreated football legends Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic chess photo in their latest music video.

The rappers have left fans surprise with the mesmerising acts, seemingly paying tribute to the two of the world's most favourite footballers.  

Drake, who's famous for incorporating samples into his work, has seemingly emulated Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for the video in his latest release with J. Cole.

During the video for their song ‘First Person Shooter’, the camera pans out from teh musicians playing chess over a table. 

It’s an image that mimics the iconic Louis Vuitton shoot which saw Messi and Ronaldo strike the same pose. 

The Messi-Ronaldo photo is currently the fourth-most liked image on Instagram, posted by the Portuguese. Some other media houses and channels have also shared the recreation of the talented musicians.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have likely played their last ever game against each other, save for a friendly between Argentina and Portugal. It appears as if Ronaldo will see out his career in Saudi Arabia with Al Nassr, and Messi will do so with Inter Miami, with only a slim chance that they face each other in the Club World Cup.

Football stars have a history of periodically popping up in music videos, even if this doesn’t physically feature Messi or Ronaldo. Earlier this year major Latin star Bad Bunny featured Ronaldinho in his video for ‘Where She Goes’.
