“That’s definitely my guy”. Frances Tiafoe‘s candid admission on Travis Scott will give you a gist of what I’m trying to convey here but hold that thought. Has the American tennis star befriended the ‘Sicko Mode’ hitmaker, the hip-hop giant whose mere presence spirals the crowd out of control? Well, don’t fret. The duo shares an amusing history, details you might not be aware of just yet. Here’s everything to know about the unusual match-up.
Both celebrities draw their initial connection over a sneaker fare link-up. The hip-hop artist, known for his popular ‘Cactus Jack’ collaboration with Nike, has elicited a head-turning response from the sneaker world. However, what followed was Tiafoe’s take on the ‘ASTROWORLD’ superstar’s venture with the sporting label. Amid Scott’s controversy with John McEnroe, the World No. 20 chimed in to hilariously shush the latter and later, compel him to send over his latest kicks to him. This is where the duo’s unknown relationship kicked off.
With Tiafoe currently in action at the US Open semifinal against countryman Taylor Fritz, the duo is poised to secure a berth in the Slam’s summit clash. Considering Scott and Tiafoe’s nascent relationship, it begs the question of whether the acclaimed rapper can find his way to the Arthur Ashe Stadium to spectate the American star if he reaches the title decider.
