Maswanganyi gets a new nickname in Spain

Maswanganyi has gotten a new nickname after he resumed pre-season training this month in Spain.

The South African midfielder resumed training with a new hairstyle and, while speaking with SuperSport TV presenter Thomas Mlambo, confirmed why Pirates summer signing Sipho Mbule called him Travis Scott.

“I heard the MasterChef (Sipho Mbule) calling you Travis Scott. Is that your new nickname?” Thomas Mlambo asked Tito.

“That’s my new nickname,” he replied. “I just like Travis Scott a lot. I play his music, so that’s why they call me Travis Scott.”

As a fan of Travis Scott, the 27-year-old disclosed he has always wanted to get the musician's hairstyle.

“I think it’s something I wanted to do during the offseason. It’s my new look for the new season,” he added.

The video shared by Mlambo on social media sparked several reactions from fans and followers of the South African sportscaster.
