Travis Scott Unfollows Kanye West After Controversial Antisemitic Rant

Kanye West has once again sparked controversy with his latest antisemitic remarks, leading to Travis Scott unfollowing him on both Instagram and X. The incident unfolded on February 6, 2025, when West, also known as Ye, launched a series of inflammatory posts that included pro-Diddy statements and hateful rhetoric about the Jewish community.

Kanye West’s Controversial Rant

The drama began late Thursday night when Kanye took to X (formerly Twitter), demanding that Diddy be released from jail. However, his posts quickly escalated into hate-filled commentary, where he not only dismissed antisemitism but also openly declared himself a “Nazi” who “loves Hitler.”

As a result of these remarks, Travis Scott reportedly decided to cut ties with the controversial rapper by unfollowing him. A fan page quickly noticed the move, sparking debates among fans, with some claiming that Travis never followed Ye on Instagram in the first place.

Kanye Reacts to Travis Scott’s Unfollow

West soon caught wind of the unfollow and addressed it on X, posting a screenshot with a cryptic response. In a now-viral post, Kanye wrote: “I LOVE TRAV VIRGIL AND DRAKE. DRAKE THE REALEST ONE OF THOSE THREE THOUGH. HE NOT FAKE COOL, HE’S JUST TALENTED AF… AND YES, IT’S F**K VIRGIL AND ANY OF THESE OTHER N****S THAT WORKED FOR ME THEN USED ME THEN WENT AGAINST ME. I LOVE VIRGIL AND HE USED THAT VERY LOVE TO BEAT. NIGERIANS ARE SUPER SMART.”

Kanye continued his erratic posting, mentioning that he initially wanted to comment on Travis Scott, but then lost interest. Instead, he shifted focus to criticizing plastic surgery, stating: “I WAS TRYING TO THINK OF A TRAVIS TWEET BUT THEN I JUST DIDN’T CARE. NOW BACK TO THESE WOKE FAT B**CHES. PLASTIC SURGERY GIVES PEOPLE A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE.”

The History of Kanye West and Travis Scott’s Relationship

Despite the current fallout, Kanye West and Travis Scott have shared a longstanding professional relationship. Travis was signed as an in-house producer to Ye’s G.O.O.D. Music label in 2012 and has collaborated with him on multiple occasions. Their most recent collaboration, “Fuk Summ” from Vultures 1, further solidified their connection in the music industry.

In August 2024, Kanye even praised Travis Scott as his 2014 mixtape Days Before Rodeo was officially released on streaming platforms for its 10th anniversary. Ye shared a screenshot of himself listening to the track “Mamacita” (featuring Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan) and captioned it, “@travisscott classic.”

Additionally, their families have been connected on a personal level, as Travis Scott shares children with Kylie Jenner, the younger sister of Kim Kardashian, Kanye’s ex-wife. This family tie has added another layer to their complex relationship over the years.

What’s Next for Kanye and Travis?

With Kanye’s recent antisemitic comments and ongoing controversies, it remains unclear whether Travis Scott will sever ties completely or if their relationship will be repaired in the future. Given the backlash surrounding Ye’s statements, more celebrities may choose to distance themselves from the rapper as well.

As of now, neither Travis Scott nor Kanye West has issued further statements addressing the situation, but fans are closely watching how this unfolds in the coming weeks.
