Travis Scott, the acclaimed rapper, and artist, has once again captured the attention of the music world with the release of his latest album, “Utopia.” While the album’s musical brilliance has been applauded by fans and critics alike, it is the controversial lyrics in one particular track that have been making headlines.
In the song “Meltdown,” Travis takes direct aim at actor Timothée Chalamet, who has recently been romantically linked to Travis’ ex-partner, Kylie Jenner. Not holding back, the rapper throws shade at Timothée’s upcoming role as Willy Wonka in a highly-anticipated reboot of the beloved fable.
The lyrics leave little room for interpretation as Travis refers to Timothée as an “oompa loompa” and questions his ability to match up to Travis’ status. The verse explicitly states, “Chocolate AP and chocolate the Vs got the/ Willy Wonka factory (Vs)/ Burn an athlete like it’s calories find another flame hot as me, bitch!!!”
In hip-hop lingo, “AP” stands for Audemars Piguet, a luxury watch brand favored by many artists in the industry due to its exorbitant prices, comparable to the value of a lavish mansion. Travis, however, seems unimpressed with Timothée’s casting as Willy Wonka, dismissing it as too corny for his taste.
Rumors of a potential romance between Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have been circulating since April, with numerous sightings of Kylie’s car parked at the actor’s residence and their joint outings, including a casual taco run.
While Kylie and Travis have been commendably co-parenting their daughter without any expectations of rekindling their romantic relationship, it is evident that Travis might not be entirely pleased with Kylie’s newfound connection with the “Little Women” actor.
As “Utopia” hits the airwaves, Travis Scott’s album has garnered immense popularity, causing streaming service outages due to the overwhelming demand from eager fans. While the album’s success is unquestionable, the controversial lyrics targeting Timothée Chalamet have sparked debates among music enthusiasts and followers of the high-profile love saga. Only time will tell if these verbal jabs will further fuel the flames or if peace and harmony will eventually prevail in the world of Travis Scott, Kylie Jenner, and Timothée Chalamet.
