Travis Scott is taking aim at Timothée Chalamet in one track off his latest album. At least that’s what fans think!
As you may know already, the Astroworld rapper released new music overnight into Friday morning. The album Utopia is filled with bangers front to back, and Scott’s loyal fans have been dissecting every little piece of each track from bar to bar. Including some very curious commentary on his baby momma’s purported new pursuit!

So, it was quickly realized that Meltdown — in which Travis collaborates with Drake — has a very curious verse. Of course, Travis shares 5-year-old daughter Stormi and 17-month-old son Aire with ex Kylie Jenner. And since Kylie has reportedly recently been pursuing romance with Chalamet, the Houston-born rapper took this time to share… THOUGHTS!!
On Meltdown, Travis raps:
“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”
So, a couple notes!! First off, ‘AP’ is short for Audemars Piguet, which is a high-end luxury watch brand. Their watches run up into the six figures, so Travis is quite literally flexing his wealth. Kylie’s not the only mogul around town! But far more interesting in that verse is the Willy Wonka reference. As Perezcious readers no doubt know, Chalamet is playing that beloved character in the forthcoming Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory reboot which is scheduled to be released in December.
But with Travis challenging the listener (AKA Kylie, in this context?!) to “find another flame as hot as me,” it sounds like he’s very much less than impressed Timothée — and the actor’s choice of reboot roles! Oof!

Meanwhile, all across social media, listeners are already weighing in with their reactions on this apparent Chalamet shade!
Here are just a few of the many reactions that are popping up on Twitter early this Friday morning (below)! Many fans have been pointing out some of the, um, shortcomings of Travis’ new track:
“Never in my life would I’ve thought to witness travis scott dissing timothee chalamet”
“Travis thinks he’s hotter than Timothee Chalamet??”
“‘Hot as Travis Scott’ is a very relative term”
“imagine saying this to the mother of your children”
“Listening to Meltdown again lmfao why Travis dissing Timothee”
“That is so cringe. How was he not embarazzed to even think about writing that?”
“he’s so irrelevant he’s clinging onto Tim for the spotlight”
“the mother of his children?? have some respect”
“I mean… thanks for the Wonka promo I guess”
“imagine being brave enough to call yourself hotter than timothee chalemet”
“wasn’t he cheating on her anyways? clearly he didn’t want her so why’s he throwing a fit over her moving on? smh”
Damn!!
