IShowSpeed gets pranked by Novak Djokovic and thinks he plays for AC Milan, fans say 'This can't be true'
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.
