Barcelona and Brazil star Neymar Jr. is the latest in the long line of athletes to give rapping a try, judging by a new video posted by Brazilian hip-hop star MC Nego de Borel.

Timberwolves' Andrew Wiggins relieved trade is done

Since he is rapping in another language for about 10 seconds it is impossible to pass judgment on his skills, but this is not Neymar's first foray into the world of music, so there is likely more of this coming our way.
