When Travis Scott agreed to collaborate with John McEnroe, nobody could have anticipated how it would play out. The rapper and the tennis legend are now at loggerheads and have become a source of amusement for fans. So great was the beef between the two that even professional players Carlos Alcaraz and Frances Tiafoe joined in on the fun.
Travis and John were involved in a spat that went viral on social media recently. Nike got the rapper on board to work on John’s signature shoes, the ‘Mac Attack’. The beef between them arose when McEnroe wanted to rename it Cactus Mac, but Scott refused to comply.
In a new turn of events, Scott was recorded vandalizing the plaque with McEnroe‘s face. The rapper spray-painted Cactus Jack, his lucrative brand, over John’s.

Nike released The Mc Attack for the first time in 1984. This year, Nike got Travis to join forces with them to release a special edition of the iconic shoe. The American apparel giant will revive the OG grey colorway for the special edition. Moreover, the shoe will feature its typical leather and mesh construction with a black swoosh.
While the altercation between the two was very amusing, fans can tell it was a marketing gimmick. Several users commented that they saw right through it, and the whole incident was probably staged.
John McEnroe has been an icon of the sport for a long time now. He has been embroiled in controversy since his trip to Tanzania to promote tennis in the country. However, this beef with Scott is as hilarious as it can get, and others can also see the humor in it.

McEnroe’s online spat with Scott shows no signs of stopping just yet. In fact, Scott’s recent antics might fuel this even more. As amusing as this has been, even prominent tennis stars like Carlos Alcaraz and Frances Tiafoe piped in with humorous takes.
Alcaraz joined the online frenzy when he reposted the reel of Scott defacing John’s plaque. He commented that “Travis Scott is wilding,” adding a bunch of cry-laughing emojis.
Carlos was not the only one, though. Frances Tiafoe, who is well-known for having a great sense of humor, also joined in on the fun. He also reposted the reel, adding, “Damn Trav chill,” followed by emojis.
No one can predict when the quarrel between Travis Scott and John McEnroe will end. However, it has quickly become a source of ample amusement for tennis fans during the off-season.
