Ronaldinho rap career: Brazil icon steals the show in new music video
Footballing great Ronaldinho has swiftly changed professions following his star-studded career as a footballer. Last year, in March, Ronaldinho and brother Roberto were arrested for entering Paraguay with false passports. The duo spent several months in a Paraguayan jail before they were free to leave the country in August 2020.
Following his release from prison, Ronaldinho has reportedly opened a studio and ventured into music as he recorded a music video with rapper Djonga and Recayd Mob. The video which was posted on Youtube only three weeks ago has already received over 2.6 million views. The 2005 Ballon d'Or winner appeared to be having the time of his life in the music video and also dug out one of his iconic Kangol hats for the occasion.
Ronaldinho's rap group “Warlock's Troop” released another new single on Friday. The video has gained over 275,000 views in less than 18 hours. According to reports from O Globo, Ronaldinho's rap group plans to release a total of eight songs by the end of 2021.
