Michael Pacquiao has taken the internet by storm as he unleashed his rap skills through a new song in collaboration with his friend Michael Bars.
The 18-year-old Pacquiao recently went trending on Twitter after netizens discovered the song “Pac-Man”, which was inspired by his father, boxing legend and senator Manny Pacquiao.
“Pac-Man” has been up on the young artist’s official YouTube channel since June 5 and has raked in over 684,000 views, as of writing.
“King of the jungle / 12 straight rounds and I’m ready to rumble / Top of the food chain hustle / King of the court and I’ll still be humble,” Pacquiao rapped.
While Pacquiao only delivered the first verse of the song, fans were still quick to appreciate the young rapper’s bars.
“When Manny Pacquiao punches fast but Michael Pacquiao can [rap] supa fast,” Twitter user @ughburn for one posted yesterday, July 7.
