Did Travis Scott Pull a Kanye West on Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner?
Pop music and classics generally soothe the nerves with melodies and a fair share of heart-touching lyrics. However, when it comes to the world of rap, music wages war. As glorious as it is, this category of the melody is also the one always stained with a slew of ugly disputes and heated back-and-forth. And for S-tier artists who have carved out a career of chords and controversies, this comes as no big of a deal. Leading the elite group was Kanye West, forever known for his subtle jibes. Joining the club recently was another rap titan heartbroken by yet another Kardashian (clan), Travis Scott.
Music, to some, means the rendition of soul, while to others it becomes a tug of war. The ‘Donda’ rapper first emerged as a trendsetter of lyrical jibes. Following his lead is another almost son-in-law of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Travis Scott. The former partner of Kylie Jenner is so influenced by West that he even walked in the footsteps of his divorce arc. Just like Ye’s famous swipe at Davidson through his song, Scott “dissed” Timothée Chalamet in his newest single, Meltdown of the album ‘Utopia.’

The lyrics read as “chocolate the Vs (vs), got the Willy Wonka factory (vs) Burn a athlete like it’s calories, find another flame hot as me, bitch”. The mentioning of Willy Wonka has stirred speculations alluding to Chalamet’s upcoming role in the film, Wonka. Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner parted ways after a good on-off period of six years. Reports recently share that the Dune actor too parted ways with Jenner after 7 months of dating post her split from Scott. She has two kids with her former partner.
With these rumors hitting the ceiling, fans look at a possible West vs Davidson 2.0.
Travis Scott has always looked up to Kanye West, and fans are all for it
Be it the infamous feud with Taylor Swift of 2009 which led to West name-dropping the star on his release, or his borderline controversial lyrics, Ye has done it all. His most notable swipe through his lines aimed at Pete Davidson after the SNL comedian was linked with his former wife, Kim Kardashian. His other works, which somehow managed to grab twenty-four Grammys, have also landed the rapper in moral perils.

This officially marks the first full-length release of Scott post his tragic Astroworld festival. While fans on the internet named it the “BEST COMEBACK OF THE YEAR”, others were quick to notice the trial, saying he did it just like his ‘sensei’ Kanye West. “Travis cooked him fr” went a gen z user while others named it a Big W(win). However, a chunk of others are in denial that the lyrics have got nothing to do with Chalamet.
