NFL star Tyreek Hill dished out a brutal comment after Olympic track champion Noah Lyles raced YouTuber IShowSpeed.
Olympian Lyles took on a 50m sprint against the teenage social media star, competing for a $100,000 cash prize.
Despite winning gold in the 100m event in the Paris Olympics, Lyles only narrowly beat IShowSpeed, prompting astonishment from fans.
The 19-year-old, real name Darren Watkins Jr, was close to Lyles, 27, as they crossed the finish line and even claimed that it was a tie.

Speed briefly took the lead at one point before Lyles pulled away and got in front. The Team USA star then turned his head to look back at Speed as he proudly took the victory.
Calling for a second race, Speed told Lyles: "Let’s go again. Let’s do a rematch… You hear him? You hear him? He didn’t even win!”
The viral video has since been viewed millions of times, and one sports star couldn't help but respond.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Hill, 30, appeared to throw some shade at Lyles via Twitter.
A former track and field star before his nine-year NFL career, Hill quipped: "And track athletes think he gone beat me," followed by crying-laughing emojis.
Lyles wasted no time in responding, as he cheekily hit back: "Awww feeling left out. I’ll dance across the line on you too," with a winking face emoji.

In August, discussing Lyles' Olympic gold victory, Hill publicly declared he could win a race against him.
The NFL player told sportscaster Kay Adams: "I wouldn't beat him by a lot, but I would beat Noah Lyles."
In response, Lyles told NBC News' David K. Li that he would be open to racing Hill, but only if it was 'legit because he's 'not here to do gimmicks'.

Lyles said of Hill: "I mean, if somebody wants to sponsor the event and we're racing for millions of dollars and it's on a track and we're running 100 meters, then sure, we can race."
He added: "You're racing against a guy who has worked his whole life to get the title of 'the world's fastest man,' and you've worked to be a great football player. You can't just jump the line because you're a great football player."
Perhaps we will see Lyles and Hill sprint off some day, though there'll certainly need to be more than $100,000 on the line. Maybe IShowSpeed can race them both for good measure?
