The moment grew into a trending hashtag (Phelpsface) on Twitter during the games.
Live from Madison Square Garden, Phelps wore, well, clothes, a chill white shirt, black pants and black jacket to fawn over Future before the Atlanta artist performed.

"I was in in the zone with Future's track 'Stick Talk' blaring in my headphones," Phelps explained of his now-famous grimace. "I might have a lot of golds but this guy's got a lot of platinum."
