A$AP Rocky thrilled fans by previewing three unreleased songs from his highly anticipated upcoming album, Don’t Be Dumb, in a headlining set at Rolling Loud Miami. While the performance was filled with excitement, one particular track caught the attention of the audience, as it seemed to carry a subtle message aimed at another artist. Fans speculate that A$AP Rocky dissed Travis Scott during his Rolling Loud performance.
A$AP Rocky and Travis Scott: friendly banter or real rivalry?
The alleged rivalry between A$AP Rocky and Travis Scott dates back to 2015, around the time Travis was romantically linked with Rihanna, who is now expecting a child with Rocky. The feud has simmered for quite some time, with Travis once expressing frustration when someone mistook him for Rocky in New York City, something Rocky has humorously attributed to Travis over the years.
During his electrifying performance, A$AP Rocky unleashed a lyrical barrage that some fans believe could be directed at Travis Scott. The unnamed artist, as indicated by the song’s lyrics, apparently borrowed elements from Rocky’s style, and the Harlem rapper playfully addressed the matter.
Rocky cleverly rhymed, “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!”
Interestingly, just last year, Rocky publicly acknowledged the similarities between their styles but didn’t appear to mind the imitation. He referred to Travis Scott’s emulation as flattery, showing a good-natured attitude towards the situation.
