Drake and J. Cole recreate Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic chess photo for First Person Shooter music video

Drake and J. Cole competed against each other through chess, table tennis, and basketball in the new music video for First Person Shooter, which dropped Wednesday.

The biracial hip-hop stars recreated a famous picture of soccer stars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo playing chess, which was photographed by Annie Leibovitz one year ago as part of their Louis Vuitton paid partnership.

The Canadian 37-year-old and the German-𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 38-year-old originally released their US Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit collaboration on October 6 off Drake‘s eighth studio album For All the Dogs.

It marked the first No. 1 hit for J. (𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 Jermaine) and the 13th No. 1 hit for Drake (𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 Aubrey Graham), which tied him with the late Michael Jackson for the most solo number-one songs by a solo male artist.

And as a tribute to the King of Pop, the five-time Grammy winner donned a silver-sequin glove and socks with black loafers in the video.

‘N****, beat it, n****, beat it, what?’ he rapped.

On the wall behind the OVO Sound co-founder’s chess match, was the album cover drawn by his five-year-old son Adonis Mahbed Graham.

Drake’s CG-filled five-minute music video has already amassed nearly half a million views on YouTube.

First Person Shooter was directed by Gibson Hazard – who previously helmed videos for Lil Uzi Vert, Metro Boomin, and Lil Nas X.

The music video began with Brian Baumgartner – best known for playing Kevin Malone in the NBC mockumentary sitcom The Office (2005–2013) – playing a game on his computer while ‘managing’ an office full of dummies.

The 50-year-old Daytime Emmy winner then received a call from the CEO, which turned out to be Drake and J. Cole playing ping pong in an office which then magically transformed into a stadium.

The Grammy winner – who was a shooting guard for Scarborough Shooting Stars last year – showed off his hoop s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s while dressed like Spider-Man.

Not to be outdone, Drake – who was also dressed like Spider-Man – then magically launched the basketball around the Earth before its fiery landing inside the hoop at Scotiabank Arena.

Keir Starmer declares war on benefits Britain: Prime Minister vows to crack down on £137billion welfare ‘blight’

Sir Keir Starmer today pledges to crack down hard on the ‘bulging benefits bill blighting our society’ as he tries to steal the Tories’ political clothes over abuses of the welfare system. The Prime Minister uses an article in today’s Mail on Sunday to promise ‘sweeping changes’ to try to tame the £137 billion bill for welfare benefits – including a blitz on cheats and those who ‘game the system’ – vowing: ‘No more business as usual.’ His most hardline comments yet on the issue come as Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall prepares to announce a package of legislation on Tuesday to ‘get Britain working’, after officials forecast that more than four million people will be claiming long-term sickness benefits by 2030 – 60 per cent higher than before the pandemic.
