Burn! Usain Bolt deserves a gold medal for his epic performance on James Corden’s "Drop the Mic."
The fastest man on earth literally ran circles around The Late Late Show host in the rap battle that aired on Wednesday, November 23.
Corden, 38, seemed confident at the start, waving his finger at Bolt, 30, as he blasted: “After all those races you won in Brazil, you’re about to lose to a man whose standing still. Now athletes aren’t great at math, so I hope this helps. You have 14 gold medals less than Michael Phelps.”
He slated him for having a career that “people only care about once every four years” and suggested once his endorsements dry up he could get a job bringing him coffee.
But his words didn’t rattle the supercool Olympian, who hit back with lines like: “You think you’re a star, but little do you know, most people in here think they’re watching the Kevin James show.”
He ripped the host to pieces, making jokes about his lack of stamina in bed and his show's ratings. Bolt even mocked Corden’s fuller figure: “I can’t believe you entered this battle to be a winner, you only can outrun me if someone yells ‘dinner.’”
Bolt pointed out he’d never lost to a “white guy” and took every opportunity to knock Corden down.
“So you saw Cool Runnings on your couch one night, while I was in the gym, to make that movie my life,” he said.
The celebrated athlete ended the race by once more embarrassing his competitor.
"I have nine gold medals, last time I checked - I have one for every time that you had sex."
Mic drop!
