However, the altercation took a surprising turn when it was revealed that the two men involved were not just strangers. They were former colleagues of Cam Newton from his organization “C1N”. Presently, they work with another organization named “TSP (Top Shelf Performance)”, similar to C1N, which mentors young athletes and often competes in 7-on-7 tournaments.
A viral moment from the brawl was how Cam Newton’s custom-made hats remained perfectly in place despite the pushing, shoving, and attempted punches from the two men. In a recent segment of “4&1 with Cam Newton,” Newton delved into the altercation in detail and explained the secret behind his hat staying put during the scuffle.
In the podcast, he shared that his hat didn’t budge because it was from Meshika, a brand renowned for tailored hats. He even quipped about these hats possibly granting superpowers. Cam Newton stated,
“So yeah em Meshika in this too and all the hats that I wear is Meshika. It’s fit to your head. They use these apparatuses and not just the rulers or the measuring tapes, it’s like a real thing so they know the press, you see what i’m saying….It give you super Powers.”
The brains behind the company, Alberto Hernandez, comes from a lineage of hat makers spanning three generations. You can schedule an appointment through their website for a personalized fitting. Additionally, Cam Newton mentions you can also visit their stores in Bozeman, Montana, or Venice Beach, California, directly.
