Travis Scott and John McEnroe’s feud has escalated, with Cactus Jack taking a personal jab. In an Instagram story shared on Tuesday (December 12), the “SICKO MODE” rapper is spotted surreptitiously looking around before grabbing an orange spray paint can to vandalize a plaque dedicated to McEnroe.
Scott seems to be adorning McEnroe’s commemorative plaque with a smiley face, leaving uncertainty about whether the paint is removable or if the plaque can be restored. The dispute originated from a viral video on Saturday (December 10), featuring Scott, McEnroe, and Nike executives in a Zoom meeting discussing a potential shoe collaboration.
The disagreement arose over the naming of the shoes, with McEnroe preferring “Cactus Mac” and Scott advocating for “Cactus Jack.” The spray-painting incident appears to be Scott’s response to McEnroe defacing a pair of Mac Attack kicks in a video, inscribing “Mac” over Scott’s Cactus Jack logo.
While speculation exists about the feud being a marketing strategy, rumors of an actual Cactus Jack x Nike Attack collaboration set for release add intrigue to the situation. The feud adds a dramatic twist to their previous collaboration for an ad promoting the Mac Attack.
