When Nicki Minaj used Lionel Messi's GIF in a Twitter reply, it quickly went viral, with fans on the platform applauding her wit. Minaj's response was prompted by a tweet from a user named 'Send yo reader', who wrote a cryptic message: "When btchs test me.. it get Messi like Soccer."

In response, Nicki posted a Lionel Messi GIF, which was well-received by her fans. One user praised her for recognizing Messi's talent, tweeting "She knows ball."

Lionel Messi, though, is no stranger to global admiration. The beloved Argentina captain not only boasts widespread popularity, but also holds the credit for guiding Argentina to victory in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

In related news, there was a lot of speculation about Messi returning to Barcelona as his contract with PSG neared its end. But he ultimately chose to move to Inter Miami. Explaining Messi's move, Barcelona's Joan Laporta revealed that the financial strain on Barcelona was a major influence on the transfer.

Interestingly, Messi's father conveyed to Laporta that the soccer icon had a tough year in Paris and wished for a less pressure-filled environment.

As Messi embarks on his new journey with Inter Miami, everyone anticipates the sweet farewell that will be given by Barca's fans, honoring the monumental legacy he left behind with 672 goals and 303 assists from 778 matches. After all, the legendary player deserves a grand send-off, perhaps coinciding with Camp Nou's 125th anniversary celebrations.
