Rick Ross attended his first-ever football match last night as he completely fanboyed over Lionel Messi in a brilliant interview.

Messi's move to Inter Miami has seen the stars come out to the DRV PNK Stadium to witness the superstar forward in the flesh.

Lebron James, Serena Williams and Kim Kardashian were in attendance for the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner's debut against Cruz Azul.

And P Diddy, Camilla Cabello, DJ Khaled and Giggs watched the Argentine's first start for his new team as he bagged a brace against Atlanta United.

The celebrities continue to flock to Inter Miami to watch Messi, with superstar rapper Ross making an appearance on Wednesday.

He spoke to Apple TV before kick-off and hailed the impact Messi has had on the state while also praising owner David Beckham.

The game was also the 47-year-old's first-ever live football game as he welcomed Messi to Miami.

"This is my first football game ever. Lionel Messi has changed the entire energy of the state. I am here to have fun," he said.

"To support the city and to support David Beckham and to let Messi know that he is welcome in Miami.

"This is different. Everyone in Miami, I suggest you come out and catch one of these games, it's a movement."


Ross picked a good game to watch as Messi scored yet another brace in Inter Miami's 3-1 win over Orlando City.

The 36-year-old opened the scoring after he was brilliantly picked out by Robert Taylor in the seventh minute.

He then bagged his second goal of the game in the 72nd minute to make it 3-1 and book Inter Miami's spot in the next round of the Leagues Cup.

Messi has five goals in three games for his new side as he enjoys a prolific start to his career at Inter Miami.
