The day I was chopping it with Julian Draxler was too Iconic

My boys and I see Julian Draxler partying in Cape Town on Instagram Stories and as a joke my boy Thato DMs him. He jokingly says “Yo Draxler, I can’t believe you didn’t invite us https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤬" title="Face with symbols over mouth" aria-label="Emoji: Face with symbols over mouth">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤬" title="Face with symbols over mouth" aria-label="Emoji: Face with symbols over mouth">”, not expecting a response of course https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Face with rolling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Face with rolling eyes">

The next day, we get about our business and head to this spot called “Arcade”. We pull up and everyone’s making noise “There’s Draxler! There’s Draxler!” - we laugh because it’s a mad coincidence considering we DMed him the day before https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing">

Everyone’s trying to get a picture and his manager is refusing any sort of camera and isn’t allowing anyone in his vicinity so my boys and I move about our business, but someone decides to tell this gent “Black Coffee’s son wants to party”

Now I don’t watch enough football to be excited about this gent so they capped but when they called me to his table, I couldn’t say no. I head through and Draxler is excited to meet me... a little too excited! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Thinking face" aria-label="Emoji: Thinking face">

After an hour of discussing nightlife, women and us begging him to move to Chelsea, Draxler with his glass filled to the brim with Tequila just can’t stop asking me where I’m playing next... I’m confused as there was clearly a language barrier and I told him numerous times...

...that I’m not going anywhere next, I’m going to sleep but I could see he doesn’t understand. Anyways he bring my friends closer and tells them - “your friend has worked hard to get where he is, I hope you are learning from him and working to make it just like him”

After all this time...Julian Draxler thought that I was Black Coffee https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">! I tried to tell him countless times that I’m his son but he wasn’t UNDERSTANDING https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">
