Travis Scott dropped his long-awaited JACKBOYS 2 compilation album on Saturday (July 12), and fans quickly zeroed in on what seemed to be a response to Pusha T’s recent diss.
On the track “Champain & Vacay,” Scott raps: “Yeah, man, I swear these old n****s kill me /Know my YNs feel me /They just want the real me, yeah /Blue Bugatti, I’m dodgin’ TMZ /Made a hundred off pushin’ T’s /Now my phone on DND, yeah.”
While Scott doesn’t mention Pusha by name, the wordplay around “Pushin’ T’s” — paired with the reference to older rappers — has been widely interpreted as a subtle jab in return.
This follows Pusha T's confirmation that he dissed Travis on the Clipse reunion album Let the Lord Sort Em Out. In a recent GQ interview, Pusha explained his frustration with Scott, which he says stems from an incident in Paris during a recording session with Pharrell.
According to Pusha, Travis showed up uninvited to play his UTOPIA album, interrupting the Clipse’s session and acting overly friendly — only to leave out a critical part: the version of “MELTDOWN” that included a verse from Drake dissing Pusha and Pharrell.
“He’s smiling, laughing, jumping around, doing his f***ing monkey dance,” Pusha told GQ. “We weren’t into the music, but he wanted to play it, wanted to film [us listening]. And then a week later, you hear ‘MELTDOWN,’ which he didn’t play. He played the song, but not [Drake’s verse].”
Pusha didn’t hold back, accusing Travis of lacking loyalty: “He has no picks, no loyalty to nobody... He just jumps around whatever he feels is hot.”
Travis hasn’t directly addressed Pusha’s statements, but his bars on “Champain & Vacay” suggest that the Houston rapper might be ready to clap back — in his own way.
