This is high-end banter

You might have seen a video doing the rounds on social media of Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku attempting to rap. As part of a shoot with Puma Football, Lukaku went into the studio with hip-hop artist 'TheColourGrey'. The pair discussed some of his latest recordings before Lukaku took to the mic and spat some old Jay-Z lyrics. And it's safe to say he did not do so particularly well. Despite his best efforts, Lukaku appears to lack the necessary rhythm and flow to be a rapper. Which is fine, because he's a footballer, but still, that wasn't going to stop the Twittersphere from ripping into him. https://twitter.com/GRMDAILY/status/1064494208201957382 United's chief joker Jesse Lingard also got involved, filming a parody video of Lukaku's rap, coining the hashtag #RomChallenge on his Instagram story. https://twitter.com/Football__Tweet/status/1064531493849051137 He even went to the length of recreating Lukaku's ill-fitting hood by strapping what appear to be hotel slippers to his ears. This episode serves as a reminder that nobody is free from being bantered off, especially when Lingard is around. Footballers have a lot of spare time, and mugging off their mates on social media is a popular hobby among them. Lukaku will think twice before having another crack at breaking into the musical world after this, you'd assume.
