Rapper Travis Scott has hinted at a new joint venture with the legendary Kanye West. Scott’s recent social media post included a video clip with fans speculating about a forthcoming music video.

The footage, dominated by close-up shots of West’s face, ends with the fiery display of ‘Cactus Jack’ in red, sparking widespread curiosity and excitement.

Amidst this hype, Scott’s recent actions have demonstrated his unwavering support for West in the face of a heated dispute with Adidas over the legitimacy of Yeezy sneakers.

Scott’s allegiance to West was unmistakably clear when he declined to sign a pair of sneakers not officially released by West’s Adidas line, stating, “We not signing no Yeezys unless they made by Ye.”

The controversy stems from West’s acrimonious split with Adidas after the brand terminated its profitable Yeezy partnership following West’s inflammatory remarks.

West has since been outspoken about his dissatisfaction with Adidas, accusing them of producing and selling ‘fake’ Yeezys without his approval and failing to compensate him.
