PARIS, FRANCE: Tennis legend Novak Djokovic pulled a prank on IShowSpeed as he made him believe that he is a professional soccer player from AC Milan during the 2023 Ballon d’Or held in Paris, France.
The goof-up happened because IShowSpeed did not recognize Djokovic.
Many football players attended the event, including David Beckham, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland, and of course, the tennis star Novak Djokovic.
Novak Djokovic pulls a prank on IShowSpeed
Since his expertise is centered on American sports, IShowSpeed has made it clear that he doesn't know much about prominent figures in international sports.
As a result, he ended up inquiring about Novak Djokovic's club membership when he saw him at the ceremony.
The tennis player said that he plays for AC Milan to mock Speed, and the prank quickly went viral online.
Erling Haaland used the opportunity to troll IShowSpeed. When they first met, Haaland made a remark about Speed's inappropriate-looking shoes.
Speed responded to this by poking fun at Haaland's hair and carrying on with his usual antics. But the conversation didn't spark any drama, and it ended shortly as they went their own ways.
Fans react to IShowSpeed's hilarious video
The video, which was shared across social media through various accounts, soon caught a lot of attention from fans who reacted to the funny interaction between the two.
A fan commented on the video, "There’s no way this is real" whereas another fan said, "He probably doesn’t watch tennis." A fan also mentioned, "How is this guy just doing side quests like this."
Another fan stated, "He’s just trolling again" whereas another fan said, "Dude is literally Chris Tucker in every movie with Chris Tucker."
A fan also said, "This is the future. Ha embarrassing."
