Travis Scott has been thrust into the ongoing feud between Rick Ross and 50 Cent after being spotted with 50’s ex-girlfriend, Jamira “Cuban Link” Haines.

On Friday, July 26, footage emerged showing the Houston rapper allegedly leaving an event in Italy and getting into a car with Haines.

The caption over the security footage read, “Travis Scott spotted going to his hotel with Cuban Link, 50 Cent’s ex,” sparking a flurry of online reactions.

The video quickly went viral after being posted on Instagram by Akademiks.

Rick Ross wasted no time in using the opportunity to taunt his longtime rival, 50 Cent. He commented on the post, fueling the fire of their ongoing beef.

Ross further escalated his trolling by re-posting the clip to his Instagram Stories and referencing lyrics from 50’s classic song “Many Men (Wish Death).”

In another post, Rick Ross showcased his shoe collection, declaring he was swapping his customary Louis Vuittons for Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack Jordan sneakers. He humorously mentioned his plan to wear them to Club LIV.

This latest development comes amidst 50 Cent’s recent public statements about his single status and his commitment to abstinence.

50, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, had been dating Jamira Haines, a model and fitness entrepreneur, since 2019. The couple appeared to have ended their relationship earlier this year. At the beginning of 2024, 50 Cent announced he was practicing abstinence to focus on his goals, sharing his journey on social media.

The rapper and television mogul also showcased a trimmer physique, attributing his new lifestyle to his improved workouts and mental focus. This revelation was part of his continued effort to inspire his followers to pursue personal growth and self-discipline.

The sighting of Cuban Link with Travis Scott has provided fresh material for Rick Ross to poke fun at 50 Cent. The two rappers have a long history of public feuds, with each taking every opportunity to mock the other. Earlier this month, 50 Cent had been the one taunting Rick Ross after a video surfaced of Ross being involved in a confrontation at a music festival in Canada. 50 Cent shared the video and made fun of Ross for fleeing the scene.
