A Look Into the Rising Celebrity Culture in Miami's Soccer Scene
A Look Into the Rising Celebrity Culture in Miami's Soccer Scene
Club and international soccer's intense schedule generally only allows its stars a short respite every summer - with Miami being an ideal location to do just that.
World Cup winner Antoine Griezmann can visit a grocery store without being harassed for selfies; now Lionel Messi will play for David Beckham's struggling Major League Soccer franchise.
Peso Pluma
Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija, better known as Peso Pluma, is an ambitious young musician with great promise. A rising regional Mexican star on Spotify with over 19 million monthly listeners and 18 songs that have made the top five of Billboard Latin charts is already enjoying global acclaim; Coachella audiences went wild when Becky G invited Peso Pluma on stage for their break up song "Chanel," and last week he made history by becoming the first Regional Mexican musical artist ever featured as headlining The Tonight Show.
Peso has also proven a hit at music festivals, selling out two shows at Los Angeles' iconic Marquee. Peso does not shy away from flaunting his celebrity status during concerts by wearing an impressive silver Spider-Man mask during performances and flaunting a diamond-encrusted chain around his neck - he's truly an energetic performer whose audience keeps growing year after year! He thrives off of an active multigenerational fan base who thrive in his presence.
Peso's ascension to superstardom reflects the shift toward hip-hop influences within regional Mexican music. Peso is part of Nuevo Corrido - an emerging wave of artists who are revitalizing this genre with influences drawn from many sources and styles - unlike their predecessors who typically donned cowboy boots and traditional botas and sombreros for performances, now performing Nuevo Corrido stars have switched out cowboy gear for bucket hats and silky Versace blouses for T-shirts for performances.
Peso made his recent concert debut in Sunrise, Florida wearing a white long-sleeve button-down overshirt featuring Dior's oblique logo and jeans, along with white sneakers that he took off towards the end of the set to accommodate for his sweatshirt. Sporting a mullet with sideburn fade, his appearance fit that of an up-and-coming rapper; yet his voice was completely unique.
Peso's energy and crowd response match his goal to take his act to stadiums, with Coachella set as an event next year and collaborations planned with major global acts in the works. His performance can bring tears or lighthearted banter depending on the subject matter at hand; no matter what, Peso is undeniable.

LIV
If you've ever visited an indoor soccer facility, chances are you've heard its distinctive soundtrack: the ricocheting of ball off walls and pads, teammates making runs up one side in hopes of scoring goals, the general atmosphere of joy from young and old alike lacing up their boots - but on one sweltering summer day at Miami's Urban Indoor Futbol in August 2017, noise wasn't audible; rather a man named Zlatan Ibrahimovic stood quietly with laptop in hand in a back corner with laptop open instead.
He set out on an ambitious quest to start the next phase of his life: "My goal is to create something truly mine and that will benefit both myself and those close to me," he stated.
Players in club and international soccer generally get only one month each year of respite from its demanding demands; that time gives them an opportunity to unplug from training bibs and small-sided games in public parks, and simply be themselves.
South Florida is increasingly attractive as an escape from European fame; this trend was initiated by players on AC Milan teams from the 90s and early 2000s like Paolo Maldini and Alessandro Nesta who visited Miami as a means of getting away. So much did they like it that they purchased homes there, returning regularly.
Modern celebrities differ dramatically from ancient Greece and Rome heroes in that their immortality is attained through real time admiration by more people than can possibly know them. Celebrity culture rose alongside literacy's spread among all classes and cultures. Celebrity-watching magazines brought more personalization, leading to Romanticism cult of personality which culminated with Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini worship in their later lives.
At present, soccer stars who reside in Miami tend to keep their private lives under wraps, though they're an attraction at major pro sports venues across Miami-Dade County. Lionel Messi may change this situation immediately upon his arrival - it could change everything!
