Eli Manning disses Tom Brady in rap battle: “I beat you twice!”
YouTube: Official NFLTom Brady and Eli Manning know each other well, as the two legendary quarterbacks have met twice in the Super Bowl. In an amusing battle rap with Supa Hot Fire, Manning reminded TB12 how those games ended.
Eli Manning entered the NFL with immense fanfare thanks to the prior success of his father, Archie, and his oldest brother, Peyton.
Eli, the youngest of the Manning clan, is equally as accomplished as any of his family members, sporting two Super Bowl rings, good enough for a tie with Peyton.
Ironically enough, Eli’s two Super Bowl victories came against Peyton’s biggest individual rival — Tom Brady. That gives the youngest sibling bragging rights against arguably the two best quarterbacks in NFL history.
Eli Manning disses Tom Brady: “I beat you twice!”
In a video released by the New York Giants — the team Eli spent 16 seasons with — Manning sent shots at Brady during a rap battle with internet star Supa Hot Fire.
“I’m Eli Manning. I’m nice. Tom Brady’s the GOAT — sike, I beat him twice!” Manning said as the crowd of players erupted in laughter.
Giants star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence embraced the former starting quarterback afterward and said, “Cool him down.”
The punchline was a direct homage, as Manning copied Supa Hot Fire’s exact cadence from his once-viral battle rap videos. Those videos even spawned one of the most used GIFs on social media.
The Manning brothers are known for their subtle humor during the ManningCast on ESPN, but Eli has shown capable of succeeding in other endeavors outside of football when given a chance.
Seeing Manning take a fun shot at Brady isn’t surprising, but not many had “a rap battle between Supa Hot Fire and Eli Manning” on their bingo card.
