The You Can't See Me rapper copied the accent and repeated the lines from the video as he joked: "The kid's nine and he's that sharp. Razor wit. I didn't have jokes like that when I was six. This kid's three, he shouldn't even be able to talk."

Fans took to the comments and demanded more "Scouse Cena" and the Peacemaker actor has followed this request as he shared an update celebrating Liverpool's most famous sons. John shared his love for the city's culture as he shared of The Beatles with his 19.2m Instagram followers.
