The Heisman Award recipient went live to express his opinions on the recent wave of harsh remarks about his relationship.
Travis Hunter has emerged as one of the most celebrated athletes following an unprecedented season with the Colorado Buffalos. This year, with his rising fame, his relationship sparked debate after videos of the pair went viral, leading many to wonder how much longer they would endure.
On Thursday evening (Dec. 19), Bow Wow conveyed a public message to the Heisman Award recipient, saying, “I was young once, ready to earn a lot of cash, and I understand how this goes.” I need you to listen to me. No. 1: I don’t want you to feel like everyone is criticizing you or that the cats dislike you. That’s that youthful mindset. “I want you to see this as if n**gas give a damn about you.” This remark was provoked by a spoof account that implied Hunter’s future spouse had left suggestive emojis on NBA player Anthony Edwards’ latest Instagram post.
In apparent reaction, Hunter started his livestream to state, “I won’t sugarcoat it … the remarks and individuals … the animosity I’m receiving, it’s exhausting.” Later in the video, he mentions, “Whenever I check my phone, it’s always something new that they’re misleading about. … “We’re merely a subject at the moment.” The highly regarded NFL prospect is exhibiting significant frustration with the circumstances but insists that people are unaware of his relationship.
In Hunter’s Heisman acceptance speech, he expressed great admiration for Hip Hop icon, Lil Wayne, stating, “My fiancée loves you.” I wasn’t aware of any of your songs until she told me, as I don’t listen to music. She informed me. She said to me, “You need to hear this.” If you aren’t into music, give Wayne a try. And ever since that day, that’s all I paid attention to. Music before the game, those are the tracks I enjoy. “When I hop in that TRX and crank up the music, I’m tuning in to Wayne.”
The skilled football player is expected to be a top five selection in the upcoming NFL draft. He recently launched his new collaboration with Adidas in a campaign that included appearances from his fiancée. The Buffalos’ standout player has garnered numerous endorsements from top-tier stars in the Hip Hop scene, such as BigXthaPlug, Babyface Ray, Quavo, and several more.
