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.
