However, Stokes took it to a different level, showing he’s tapped in.
“Big30, Lil Double O, Fox BD and YTB Fatt, Moneybagg Yo when I was younger.”
He also said he listens to reggae, R&B, country, and alternative.
Fans in the comments gave props for his ball knowledge.
“a qb knowing the local artists by name instead of the same 5 mainstream rappers every athlete lists is such a green flag honestly,” one user posted.
“His mama knew what he was gon be on, that’s why she named him Marcus,” another user posted.
“Florida withdrew their offer because of a video of him rapping and saying n****. He’s always been a fan of rap, just has to watch his mouth. Especially in Memphis,” another user posted.
“yall are sad in these comments, never knew you had to be a certain race to enjoy music smfh yall are f***** miserable,” another user posted.
