Former
world No. 1 John McEnroe had a heated argument with rapper Travis Scott in a
Zoom meeting regarding their new collaboration on sneakers. The 7-times Grand
Slam champion raised his voice and had to ask Scott to show "a little
respect."
The
argument started over McEnroe's Nike Mac Attack tennis shoes, which the rapper
will redesign as part of his collaboration with the sportswear brand. McEnroe
and Scott were in a meeting with Nike executives discussing the name of the
shoes.

In the
video, McEnroe can be seen initially shouting angrily at Scott after the rapper
refused to change the name from "Cactus Jack" (the singer's lucrative
brand) to "Cactus Mac" for this occasion.
"God
d**n it, Travis. Jenny is right. Okay, let's have a little bit of compromise
here. Her suggestion for the Cactus Mac thing is just for one shoe instead of
Cactus Jack," McEnroe said (via The Daily Express).
"John,
Cactus Mac was never a thing," Scott replied.
"Show
a little respect! This is my shoe," a furious McEnroe screamed.
"I'm
not really feeling it," Scott said.
"It
feels a little off. It sounds like a burger or something. I'm not trying to
take anything away from or disrespect you. Trust me, I know more about the
knowledge of the shoe [game] than anybody. Where we are right now, the young
ones are the ones that are kind of pushing the needle for what is going on
right now. You just have to trust me on this one," Travis Scott added.
Back in
June, Nike announced the revival of John McEnroe's signature shoe called Mac
Attack, and with the assistance of Travis Scott for a redesign of the model, it
will be relaunched in 2024 as a tribute to the 30 years since John McEnroe
first wore them in 1984.
