Chief Keef has explained why Gervonta “Tank” Davis chose to walk out to “Love Sosa” for his fight against Ryan Garcia, instead of the rapper’s other hit song, “Faneto.” He explained that Davis wanted to be more “mellow” as compared to the other track. Chief Keef shared the comment on his Instagram Story, over the weekend.
“Tank ain’t wanna go out to Faneto he was gone do em wayyyyyy worser he wanted to be mellow,” he in the post wrote with laughing emojis. Davis ended up knocking Garcia out in the seventh round during their fight at the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night. In addition to joining him for the walkout, Chief Keef also reportedly partied with Davis after his win in Las Vegas.

Chief Keef wasn’t the only rapper involved in the night. JAY-Z also lent a hand to Davis by providing a motivational speech. “Everything in life is for your greatest good,” Hov said before the fight. “No matter how difficult it seemed at the time, everything is for your greatest good. Just teaching you discipline so you can receive your blessing. See, I’m from the bottom, from the mud. It don’t matter if you from Brooklyn or from Baltimore, all that matters is that you believe in yourself when no one else will.”
Drake also revealed that he bet $1 million on Davis to walk away victorious from the bout with Ryan Garcia. After the fight, Davis joked about wanting a percentage of the winning. “Tell him I need half of that!” he said of the bet. “It’s pretty cool to have people like that believe in me. It made me push even harder, so shoutout to Drake and the rest of the people that back me. This is only the beginning for me, I have a bright future and I’m staying humble through it all. What can I say? We done it again tonight.”
