Ghostface asked for some help from the audience to perform the banger, and eventually Paralympian basketball player Dylan Alcott was hoisted in the air and crowd-surfed his way to the front. The 24-year-old then dismissed all stage fright, delivering a slick verse alongside Ghostface with the swagger of a New York hustler.
Speaking on the performance, he said “The song I listen to before I play any match is ‘Protect Ya Neck’ by Wu-Tang Clan… “I can’t believe I got the verse out perfectly. Sport is my comfort zone. Rapping on stage is not.”
His rhyming skills came after completing a 24-hour wheelchair tennis marathon for the Starligtht Foundation, which raised $90,000.
What a fucking legend. Watch the footage here, and check out Ghostface’s remaining dates below:
