Eli and Peyton Manning have been always trying to outdo each other, both on the gridiron and outside. Since they both retired with 2 Super Bowls each, their attempts to one-up each other have taken a more hilarious turn. So much so, that anything they do now is perceived as a competition by fans. As was the case when Eli Manning decided he’d record a rap song with rapper Fivio while having shots with him.

Peyton has been relentless in his pursuit of outshining his brother. When Tom Brady retired from the NFL this year, Peyton proudly waved around an invitation to be on Brady’s podcast as a triumphant win over his brother. Eli, on the other hand, has been relatively busy with skits of his own. Including trying out for the University of Pennsylvania as a disguised walk-on candidate, Chad Powers.
Eli Manning once went to a recording studio after having shots with Fivio
Eli and Peyton are both known to be fun-loving individuals. Perhaps having fun was the only agenda behind Eli’s decision to visit a recording studio, with rapper Fivio Foreigner. Fivio Tweeted the plan to his followers, saying, “I’m goin to the studio w Eli Manning”, before posting videos of the encounter on his Instagram.
In the videos, Eli and Fivio can be seen with the former Giants QB’s teammate Shaun O’Shara. The trio seemed to be enjoying themselves as they downed some shots in a plastic beer cup. Manning sported a yellow ‘CELINE’ hoodie, with a matching bucket hat. He was also wearing a rather thick, iced-out chain, though not the one Snoop Dogg gifted him before.
The unexpected meeting left many fans wondering what their actual plan was. The reason was soon revealed, and it came in the form of a Giants’ themed rap song named ‘Big Drip’. It seems Fivio wanted Eli to be a part of the song dedicated to the team he won 2 Super Bowls with. Eli seems to be a natural at this since he totally smashed the song even after taking a few shots.
Peyton and Eli are having a great time with their rivalry
Rivalries in football are a natural thing. Players often find others who they wish to outdo, in order to prove their worth. However, it is rare for a rivalry to be between brothers. It is even rarer that the rivalry becomes an entertainment prospect. That is exactly what Eli and Peyton Manning have done. They have taken their desire to outdo each other and made it into the most followed rivalry in the country right now.
It is especially interesting since neither of the stars are actively involved in the game right now. Their only avenues are through hilarious activities in an attempt to outshine the other. The duo has come together to provide fans with some much-needed entertainment in the form of Monday Night Football.
Peyton‘s production company, Omaha Productions, is already setting both brothers in the entertainment industry. What’s more, they are also actively trying to gain a foothold in the team owners’ club, with Eli recently becoming a shareholder in Gotham F.C. Both brothers are keenly watching for a gap to enter the NFL as an owner, and this is becoming a race in itself. Will they manage to come back to the NFL as owners?
