Did Travis Scott Diss Pusha T On His New ‘Jackboys 2' Album?
Travis Scott seems to have responded—albeit subtly but sharply—to recent personal jabs made by Pusha T, using his new Jackboys 2 compilation as a platform to break his silence. Released on Sunday (July 13), the highly anticipated project features Cactus Jack Records mainstays like Don Toliver, Sheck Wes, and SoFaygo, along with guest appearances from Playboi Carti, Future, GloRilla, Bun B, and others. However, it's Scott's own verse on the track 'Champain & Vacay' that's drawing the most attention, with fans and critics alike noting what seems to be a pointed lyrical response to Pusha's recent character attacks. On the song, Scott raps, 'Yeah, man, I swear these old ni**as 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 he doesn't name Pusha directly, the line 'Made a hundred off pushin' T's' is widely interpreted as a play on the Virginia rapper's name. The verse also seemingly mocks Pusha's age and hints at the drama swirling in the media—particularly surrounding TMZ coverage. The rift between the two artists reportedly stems from Scott allowing Drake to take shots at both Pharrell Williams and Pusha T on the UTOPIA track 'Meltdown.' According to Pusha, the moment felt like a betrayal, particularly since the two had just shared a studio session in Paris. In a GQ interview, Pusha recalled: 'He came to [Pharrell's] studio. He interrupted a session… He's smiling, laughing, jumping around, doing his f**king monkey dance… And then a week later you hear 'Meltdown,' which he didn't play.' Pusha later doubled down on his disapproval, confirming speculation that lines from the Clipse's Let God Sort Em Out track 'So Be It' were aimed squarely at Travis: 'You cried in front of me, you died in front of me/ Calabasas took your bi*ch and your pride in front of me… Lucky I ain't TMZ it, so be it, so be it.' While Travis doesn't address every accusation directly, 'Champain & Vacay' suggests he's not ignoring the shots fired. Instead, he's choosing to respond the way he knows best: through the music.

Travis Scott subtly addresses Pusha T diss on Jackboys 2 amid Clipse album release weekend
Jackboys 2, the long-awaited Cactus Jack compilation led by Travis Scott, is now out, featuring Don Toliver, Sheck Wes, and SoFaygo. The release comes amid rising tension between Scott and rapper Pusha T, who recently criticized Travis on the new Clipse track 'So Be It.' Pusha, in a GQ interview, criticized Travis for flaunting his alliance with Pharrell during the Utopia rollout, only to feature Drake on the same album—where Drake delivered a verse dissing Pharrell and Clipse. Pusha didn't hold back, calling Travis 'a whore' with no loyalty or moral standard. While Scott had previously remained silent, the new project seems to offer a subtle response. The opening track, 'Champain & Vacay,' features Don Toliver and ad-libs from Waka Flocka Flame. Toward the end of his verse, Scott raps: 'Man these old n-ggas kill me/Know my YNs feel me… Blue Bugatti, dodgin TMZ/Made a hundred off of pushin tees/Now my phone on DND.' The wordplay alludes to Pusha's name while portraying him as an aging critic. The 'dodgin TMZ' lyric appears to reference a line from 'So Be It,' where Pusha warns Travis he's lucky he didn't 'TMZ it'—hinting at a potentially damaging video. The album opens with narration from Bun B and spans 17 tracks. No other lyrics directly mention Pusha, Clipse, or Pharrell, indicating Travis may be shrugging off the feud. Observers also noted that Scott announced the album just two days before release—timed to coincide with Clipse's long-planned Let God Sort Em Out, possibly setting up a streaming showdown. Ahead of the release, Pusha and his brother Malice addressed the timing in a Breakfast Club interview, encouraging fans to compare both records. Jackboys 2 also features appearances from Future, Playboi Carti, 21 Savage, GloRilla, Kodak Black, Tyla, and Vybz Kartel.
