Travis Scott appears to respond to Pusha T’s diss on the ‘Jackboys 2’ album

Travis Scott seems to have addressed the ongoing friction with Pusha T on the recently released Jackboys 2 compilation album. The Utopia rapper, 34, dropped the album in collaboration with his Cactus Jack Records crew on Sunday, July 13. Amidst verses from artists like Don Toliver, SoFaygo, and Sheck Wes, Scott included some intriguing wordplay on the track “Champain & Vacay” that appeared to be aimed at Pusha T, following a series of criticisms from the 48-year-old rapper.

In the lyrics of the track, Scott raps, “I’m dodgin’ TMZ / made a hundred off pushin’ T’s / now my phone on DND,” which has fans speculating that it could be a direct response to Pusha T’s recent comments. Pusha T, whose real name is Terrence Thornton, had alluded to Scott on the Clipse track “So Be It” but later downplayed the situation in an interview, labelling Scott as “harmless”. The back-and-forth between the two rappers has stirred up a buzz in the music industry, with fans eagerly following the drama.

The apparent jabs from Scott towards Pusha T come shortly after the release of Clipse’s new album Let God Sort Em Out, which marked Pusha’s first project with his brother Malice since 2009. While Pusha T did not explicitly name Scott on his album, he did delve into the backstory of his lyrics in multiple interviews, shedding light on the origins of his verse in the single “So Be It”.

Speaking about the track and its references, Pusha explained how a past collaboration between Scott, Pharrell, and Drake played a part in the ongoing tension. The dynamic between the artists and their interactions behind the scenes have added layers of complexity to the feud, keeping fans and critics alike intrigued by the unfolding narrative within the rap community.

In a recent appearance on The New York Times’ Popcast alongside his brother Malice, Pusha T further elaborated on his perspective on Scott’s actions, describing them as “corny” and highlighting a perceived lack of loyalty. These statements have only added fuel to the fire, as followers of both artists eagerly await further developments in this evolving saga.

As Scott’s Jackboys 2 project continues to garner attention, serving as a follow-up to the label’s 2019 compilation album Jackboys, music enthusiasts are curious to see how the narrative between Scott and Pusha T unfolds. With contributions from notable artists like Bun B, Future, and Playboi Carti, the album promises a diverse range of sounds and styles, offering fans a glimpse into the evolution of Scott’s musical journey.
