Scott revealed that Haaland played in the boots he collaborated with Nike to create during the tournament, and he just wanted to see one of the best players in the world on the field.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah! It’s crazy, man! I made a boot with Nike for the tournament, and he actually played in the boot, so it was crazy. I had to pull up to see greatness!”
Scott met Haaland after Norway’s loss against France. The Manchester City star ended up signing a jersey for the multi-platinum rapper with a personal message.
