Fans were quick to interpret A$AP Rocky’s latest song lyrics as a direct attack on fellow rapper Travis Scott. During his headline performance at the Rolling Loud music festival in Miami, Rocky rapped, “First you stole my flow, so I stole your bitch / Then you stole my style, I need at least like 10 percent. All due disrespect, I hope you take offense.” A video posted to Twitter captured the moment, showing Rocky performing the unreleased track on a ladder, surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd. This lyrical jab led fans to speculate that Rocky, who went public with his relationship with Rihanna in 2020, was specifically targeting Scott, who is 32 years old.
Twitter Reacts to the Alleged Beef
Social media erupted with comments and theories about the apparent feud between Rocky and Scott. One Twitter user wrote, “Naah Rocky sending shots at Trav,” while another tweeted, “bruh rocky & Travis beef reignited just before they both drop their albums.” The timing of this alleged confrontation, right before the release of both artists’ albums, added fuel to the fire. It is worth noting that Scott was previously linked romantically to Rihanna’s ex-boyfriend, but neither party ever addressed the rumors. Rocky, on the other hand, now shares a child with Rihanna and has another baby on the way, solidifying his connection to the pop star.
Rocky’s Past Remarks on Scott
This is not the first time Rocky has publicly addressed the topic of Scott. During an appearance on “Drink Champs” in May 2022, Rocky discussed the similarities between his and Scott’s styles. He acknowledged the inspiration Scott drew from him, saying, “I saw similarities, for sure. I saw that he was inspired and s—t like that, but that’s what we’re in it for. Imitation is the best form of flattery. If people weren’t trying to imitate you, then you’re doing something wrong.” These past comments shed light on Rocky’s mindset and provide context for his recent diss track.
New Albums on the Horizon
Rocky’s pointed lyrics come just before the release of his highly anticipated album, “Don’t Be Dumb.” Interestingly, Scott also made a significant announcement at the Rolling Loud festival, revealing that his new album, “Utopia,” and a film called “Circus Maximus” would be dropping on Friday. The timing of these album releases adds another layer to the alleged beef, further fueling the anticipation and speculation among fans.
In the world of rap, where rivalries and feuds are often part of the culture, A$AP Rocky’s latest song performance has ignited a new wave of intrigue. While fans eagerly await the release of both artists’ albums, the tension between Rocky and Scott continues to captivate audiences and generate buzz.
