Travis Scott’s spilling love for Kanye West in a Complex cover story this week—but the vibe might’ve shifted since. The early February chat, pre-Ye’s antisemitic meltdown, paints a warm picture of their bond. Here’s what Trav said—and how things got messy after.
Trav’s Ye Tribute
“That’s my kids’ uncle,” Travis told Complex. “He took me in at 19, taught me a lot about music—not just taught, but let me experience creating with him.” From beats to collabs on music, film, and fashion, Ye shaped La Flame’s rise. Signed to G.O.O.D. Music in 2012 as a producer, their latest link-up was “Fuk Summ” on Vultures 1. Family ties run deep too—Ye’s kids with Kim Kardashian are cousins to Trav’s kids with Kylie Jenner.
The Unfollow Fallout
Post-interview, Travis unfollowed Ye on socials amid his February 2025 antisemitic rants. Kanye clapped back on X, reposting a fan page screenshot: “I LOVE TRAV VIRGIL AND DRAKE… THOUGH HE NOT FAKE COOL HE’S JUST TALENTED AF AND YES ITS FUCK VIRGIL AND ANY OF THESE OTHER NIGGAS THAT WORKED FOR ME THEN USED ME THEN WENT AGAINST ME.” Ye pivoted mid-rant: “I WAS TRYING TO THINK OF A TRAVIS TWEET BUT THEN I JUST DIDNT CARE NOW BACK TO THESE WOKE FAT BITCHES.” Messy, right?
Past Love, Present Tension
Ye showed Trav love last August for Days Before Rodeo’s 10-year streaming drop. But with Trav’s unfollow and Ye’s wild WW3 teases—like that Drake diss—where they stand now’s anyone’s guess.
