Former Super Bowl Champion Jay Ajayi has traded in his cleats for a microphone – officially entering the music game with a debut rap single this week – and he hopes the response to the songs is so good that it will lead to a future collaboration with Travis Scott.
The former Philadelphia Eagles star first entered the booth full-time following his retirement from the NFL in 2022 – rapping under the pseudonym “Delicacy” – and on Tuesday, he released his first single, “PEAK.”
The former running back tells TMZ Sports he’s taking his new career very seriously… aiming to feature “a little trap, south side beats, heavy 808s and lots of vibes” in his tracks.
“I like to take the listener on a journey when they listen to the music,” he said. “It’s an experience.”
The London native – who made one Pro Bowl in his six-year NFL career – says he wants it to grow so much that one day he can work with Scott – as they both share some ties to Texas. He also said he wouldn’t mind working in the future with Mike Deana producer and songwriter who has collaborated with celebrities such as Scott, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Beyonce, The weekend and more.
Ajayi tells us that a Grammy isn’t necessarily his goal — but he simply wants to make a true connection with fans.
“The biggest validation of music is people messing with music, people listening to music, people consuming music,” Finesse said.
“For me… to sell out a show and have the whole stadium singing the song or jumping around, I think that kind of feeling shows that what you’re doing is connecting.”
Check out the music video for the new track… it looks like Ajayi is off to a good start to achieve these goals.
