Travis Scott and John McEnroe are not a combination of names you would expect to hear in the same sentence. But recently the tennis legend and the Rap God were involved in a controversy where they bashed each other ruthlessly. The war between them was about the name of a sneaker that was being launched with their collaboration.

During their banter, they got into a fight because of their contrasting opinions. And now, Scott recently posted a video, in which he was seen spraying paint on McEnroe’s plaque in an unknown location. To this, American tennis star Francis Tiafoe responded, asking him to chill when it comes to McEnroe.

The two celebrities, McEnroe and Scott, got into a heated argument during their collaboration for Nike Mac Attack. The argument between them got leaked by the X account ‘Nike Kicks’ as well. After the video of McEnroe screaming at Scott went viral, the rapper posted a video in which was seen spraying orange paint on John McEnroe’s plaque.

Once that video was posted, Frances Tiafoe reposted the same video on his official Instagram story. Along with the video, he added, “Damn Trav chill”. He found the incident funny as he asked Travis Scott not to escalate this with a series of laughing emojis.

However, Scott may still have some bitter memories from the ill-fated video meeting. Well, this is not the first time John McEnroe lost his temper. He is renowned for his temper during his heydays on the ATP Tour, with one of the infamous incidents coming during the Wimbledon Championships in 1981.

McEnroe is known to lose his cool for years

The former US Open winner John McEnroe is for now preparing for his Pickleball Slam 2 with Maria Sharapova against Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf. However, even though he has stopped playing tennis, his temper tantrums on the court are still quite famous amongst the fans. One of them was from the time when he was playing in one of his Wimbledon campaigns in 1981.
