Soccer’s biggest stars have crossed from the pitch to pop culture, inspiring chart-topping songs across genres like rap, pop, and reggaetón. From Messi’s name being dropped by Kendrick Lamar and Drake, to Mbappé’s viral trap anthem by Eladio Carrión, and Cristiano Ronaldo’s shout-out in Anuel AA’s “Perfecto,” these legends have become lyrical icons. New names like Lamine Yamal are already getting their own musical tributes, while Maradona remains the eternal muse whose legacy lives on in song and spirit.
