With widespread fame comes meetings between extremely famous people across industries. For Lionel Messi, that has always been the case, but it’s been accentuated since his arrival at Inter Miami.
LeBron James and Kim Kardashian were present for Messi’s debut game in July, and it’s been a steady stream of celebrities rolling in to watch the Argentinian superstar in the United States.
Peso Pluma meets Leo Messi
On Saturday, during Inter Miami’s home match against FC Cincinnati, Messi drew more starpower to DRV PNK Stadium. One of the celebrities was Peso Pluma, the Mexican recording artist whose fame has risen exponentially in 2023. Messi gave Peso Pluma a high-five before heading to the bench, which is right next to the VIP area.
Messi began the game against Cincinnati on the bench, as he’s still working his way back to full health following a hamstring injury. Inter Miami hit the woodwork three times in the first half, before Messi entered the game in the 55th minute.
Miami is hanging on for dear life in the MLS playoff race. Inter need to win their remaining games and get help elsewhere, as they no longer control their own destiny.
