“Four years ago we set out on a mission, nine days later we made internet history. Together 🤍," reads the egg's Story text "Today @leomessi has taken the crown (for now 👀)."
With this, Messi's 57 million likes has also seemingly surpassed the most-liked post on every prominent social media platform. On Twitter, the record is 7 million, for a tweet announcing the tragic death of Black Pantheractor Chadwick Boseman. On YouTube, Luis Fonsi's music video for "Despacito" has 50 million likes.
