Nadeshot reveals how he felt when meeting Drake, Kanye West 100 Thieves (Twitter)100 Thieves founder Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag is a massive personality in esports, but he was left humbled and nervous when he got the chance to meet celebrities like Drake and Kanye West, he revealed during the latest episode of Selfmade. Nadeshot has worked hard to get 100 Thieves off the ground, and it\u2019s paid off big time. The esports team is now a recognizable lifestyle brand, attracting big name attention from Hollywood and beyond. However, every once in a while, he has to pinch himself when he meets celebrities, and even feel flattered to be in their presence. Describing some of the encounters he\u2019s had on his most recent episode of Selfmade, Nadeshot revealed how meeting some of his idols like Kanye West and Drake left him floored. Nadeshot described Kanye West as a \u201creally interesting guy\u201d after taking the hip-hop superstar for a tour around the 100 Thieves facility. However, he was more mesmerized by meeting Drake before the singer invested into the team. \u201cThe most nervous I ever would have been meeting Drake,\u201d said Nadeshot. \u201cIt felt like it happened in a blink of an eye \u2014 the conversations we had. \u201cI just can\u2019t imagine as a 16-year-old thinking to myself that\u2019s where my life would have taken me. It\u2019s just really cool to meet so many different people from so many different walks of life, different levels of success, and just have a conversation with them.\u201d Jackson Dahl said these interactions with celebrities are \u201cindicative of what\u2019s happening with gaming over the last 10 years\u201d becoming more mainstream, and will only become more plentiful. Nadeshot even shared a story of Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez\u2019 encounter with Jay-Z and Beyonce, which prompted him to reflect on his own experiences with stardom. \u201cHector told me a funny story where he went to an event and it just so happened that he ended up in the same room as Jay-Z, and he didn\u2019t know Jay-Z was going to be there,\u201d he said. \u201cHe walks into the room and he looks to his right and says \u201coh that\u2019s Beyonce,\u201d and as he keeps panning through the room, he locks eyes with Jay-Z. He said that when he made eye contact with Jay-Z, it was the first time in his life where he truly felt somebody\u2019s power in the room.\u201d Meeting Drake and Kanye West aren\u2019t the only highlights of Nadeshot\u2019s life as head honcho of 100 Thieves. Getting to shake hands with DreamWorks founder Jeffrey Katzenberg, Scooter Braun, and Riot Games\u2019 CEO Marc Merrill also topped the list of star figures Nadeshot has met. While the name value of Nadeshot continues to shoot through the roof, it won\u2019t be long until the next esports star comes along and is mesmerized by the former Call of Duty professional\u2019s presence, like how he was with his idols.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
