Jan 31, 2023 Jay-Z - David Beckham: Insanely popular in the early 2000s, managed to cross over into pop. Still relevant in the 2020s, huge in the business world. Kanye West - Cristiano Ronaldo: Had to follow the footsteps of Jay-Z/Beckham, and still managed to get even more popular. Highly controversial, egoistic person, always has some drama around him. Managed to stay one of the greatest for a very long time. Huge meltdown in 2022. Eminem - Lionel Messi: Small bearded dude who is more reclusive than most high-profile rappers/soccer players. Took the world by storm when he first appeared. Often compared to Kanye/Ronaldo. Insane trophy collection. Still in the GOAT debate in 2023. 50 Cent - Wayne Rooney: Extremely successful in the 2000s but didn't have the same longevity of the previous ones. Love-hate relationship with Kanye/Cristiano. Kendrick Lamar - Kylian Mbappé: Younger than the previously mentioned rappers/soccer players, but has already achieved a lot of success. Entered the GOAT debate as soon as he stepped onto the scene. Very popular, but hasn't yet achieved the same global popstar status as the previous ones. Any other ideas?
