Kanye West has publicly responded to Travis Scott’s remarks, making it clear they aren’t family.
- In a Complex cover story, Travis Scott praised Kanye as a mentor from his early career.
- Kanye dismissed the idea of being family, pointing to industry dynamics that complicate genuine relationships.
- Travis unfollowed Kanye on social media following controversial statements, intensifying the rift.
- Kanye’s response included jabs at the Kardashian/Jenner influence over their children.
Kanye West is never one to mince words, especially when it comes to his relationships. Recently, Travis Scott was all praises for Kanye in a Complex interview, dubbing him ‘kids’ uncle’ and a major influence in his music journey. However, Kanye’s response was anything but warm.
Travis Scott recalled how Kanye opened doors for him at the young age of nineteen, allowing him to dive into the world of music creation. He expressed gratitude, stating, ‘That guy took me in… and helped me grow.’ But, things are not as rosy now as they might have been then.
Kanye took to a live stream where he firmly shot down the notion that he and Travis are family. He criticized the superficial nature of industry ties and remarked on how external control, especially from the Kardashian/Jenner dynasty, creates barriers to fostering genuine bonds.
Travis Scott’s decision to unfollow Kanye earlier this year on social media coincided with Kanye’s controversial comments, particularly an antisemitic tirade. This action seemingly stirred the waters further, prompting Kanye’s strong reaction.
Kanye didn’t hold back, referring to Travis’s statements as a ‘textbook Jewish response.’ He expressed frustration about a collaboration track, ‘Telekinesis,’ implying that his contributions sometimes end in the shadows with no real conversation afterward.
It’s a tangled web of relationships for Kanye, who also touched on his tensions with other high-profile figures. While his past with Travis is rich with joint ventures, this incident highlights an ongoing drift.
‘There’s no more hugs,’ Kanye declared, drawing a clear line. It seems the days of amicable collaboration may be over, at least for now. The rift between the two musicians speaks to deeper issues about loyalty and the fragile nature of alliances in the music industry.
Kanye’s reaction has sparked discussions online, highlighting how social media and the entertainment scene contribute to building and sometimes breaking modern-day bonds. Through it all, the underlying tensions in Kanye’s world remain a topic of keen interest.
Kanye West has unequivocally stated that his relationship with Travis Scott is strictly professional, leaving no room for familial sentiments.
