Diarmuid Connolly has responded to Coolio after the Gansta's Paradise rapper called called on the baller to make a return to Dublin football.
The US rapper raised eyebrows today after telling Dublin Live he'd love to see Diarmo back in blue - but it looks like the Vincent's man is living it up on holidays at the moment.
A good-spirited Connolly can be seen giving a thumbs up and a big smile as he rocked along to Gangsta's Paradise while on holiday in Italy.
Coolio's calls come less than a week before he's due to take to the Leopardstown stage for the Bulmers Light Festival.
Speaking to Dublin Live he sent a message to the five-time All-Ireland winner and even suggested he tried his hand at the American game he if decides not to join up with Jim Gavin's men.
He said: "If I saw him I'd say 'Diarmuid, look, they want you to come back to the team man, they need you, Dublin is counting on you - come on back and do what you do!'
"If not he should try some American football, I'd like to see him do that either.
"I could imagine him with the Patriots, I'm sure Bill Belichick could teach him how to play.
"Maybe they'll let me and Diarmuid on the offensive line and we could try out a few plays.
"I'd love to try play Gaelic but I'm way too old. I'd probably get broke up."
Dublin's newest fan will be coming to town on Thursday June 13 - and entry to the day is going for only €17 if you book online or €20 on the day!
