Noah Lyles Gives a Nod to Adidas’ Rival Brand’s Renowned $60 Million Worth Rapper With a Resounding Shout-Out

Noah Lyles has been on a roll since his stellar 2023 track and field season. The “3 Peat” track and field star achieved back-to-back victories at the Budapest World Athletics Championships. He bagged gold in the 100-meter, 200-meter, and 4×100-meter relay. Post an impressive 2023 season, Lyles even showcased his versatility as a stellar fashion icon at Milan Fashion Week. He graced the event by strutting down the runway for Hugo Boss.

In the past, Lyles has often emphasized that he is more than just an athlete; he relishes the role of being the “hype man” in the sport. He once told GQ in an interview, “It’s not just about going out and running as fast as you can; it’s about entertaining and engaging with people.” Most recently, he maintained this spirit by boldly acknowledging a renowned $60 million rapper associated with Adidas’ rival brand.

Noah Lyles rallies for multi-million dollar rapper

In his latest Instagram update, Noah Lyles introduced an “ask me a question” feature on his stories, engaging with his fans. Amidst responding to numerous questions in his typical Noah Lyles style, one question stood out. A fan asked the World Champion, “What’s your favorite song at the moment?” Instead of responding with words, he posted a picture of himself mid-air, exuberantly celebrating on the track at the NYC Grand Prix.

He was dressed in a blue Adidas tracksuit and gave a shout-out to the competitor brand, Nike’s $60 million rapper, Travis Scott. The accompanying track was “Travis Scott – FE!N ft. Playboi Carti.” The picture was a nostalgic throwback for many, and the song surprisingly complemented the vibe it conveyed.

Why the NYC Grand Prix was a significant moment

Lyles made a significant splash at the NYC Grand Prix, which took place in 2023. During the event, he completed the 200m race in under 20 seconds for the 34th time in his career, a feat that tied him with the legendary Usain Bolt for the most sub-20 second 200m races in history.

Lyles clocked in at 19.83 seconds at Icahn Stadium, leaving Issam Asinga, who finished second with a time of 20.25, and Elijah Morrow, who came in third at 20.30, in his wake.
