Christina Aguilera and Lewis Hamilton
7-time Formula 1 Champion Lewis Hamilton is a global star in the true sense of the word. The Briton has dabbled in all sorts of works such as designing his own clothing lines and also trying out MotoGP bikes and even opening his own philanthropic ventures. But one of Lewis Hamilton’s hidden talents that very few of his fans actually know about is that the Mercedes racer knows how to rap as well. And he has even recorded a hugely famous song with the American singer and songwriter Christian Aguilera that released in 2018.
It all started when Aguilera dropped her new music on YouTube and fans came across a curious collaboration of hers with some rapper called XNDA. The song that featured XNDA was called ‘Pipe’ and it quickly picked up the views as some of the devoted followers started to sniff about and realized that XNDA might actually be Lewis Hamilton. At the time of writing this feature, ‘Pipe’ has 957,000 views. But Lewis never acknowledged that it was him behind those verses, and hence the news of his musical venture was not confirmed.
But, much later, in July 2020, Lewis Hamilton finally disclosed that it really was him who wrote the rap verses in ‘Pipe’ as XNDA.
I shied away from acknowledging it was me, I won't know why, maybe Insecurities, fear, overthinking, something I think many people can relate to. Well I want to say that XNDA is me and I am so honoured and grateful to @xtina (Christina Aguilera) for giving me a place to use my voice.Lewis Hamilton said in his tweet as he clarified who XNDA was in ‘Pipe’, via ESPN.
Lewis Hamilton teases future music projects as he claims he has ‘bunch of different songs’
Lewis Hamilton is already regarded as one of the most versatile Formula 1 racers in the history of the sports since he has ventured outside of the racing world to collaborate with Tommy Hilfiger as a fashion designer, produce a movie with Brad Pitt, and whatnot. But now, a new side of him has come up since fans never believed he would be interested in making music too. But just as he declared that XNDA is actually him, he also said he has a couple of more songs that he has already recorded.
I haven't got a project or album, just a bunch of different songs that perhaps some of you will be able to connect to. They helped me get through some of the most difficult times. At some stage I'm going to find a moment to share with you so bare with me.
In other news, Lewis Hamilton is currently busy touring Brazil with his rumored girlfriend–Brazilian model Juliana Nalu. The two were spotted entering a nightclub together during New Year’s Eve and they have also been snapped by the paparazzis while enjoying a boat riding session. But none of the rumors about Juliana dating Lewis has been confirmed yet since the two have not posted each other’s pictures on their socials.
