Travis Scott recently opened up about his relationship with Kanye West, which dates back to the early stages of his career.
Travis was signed to Kanye’s label, G.O.O.D. Music, as a producer, and quickly became an integral part of Kanye’s creative process. He played a pivotal role in producing tracks for Kanye’s Yeezus album, Big Sean’s Dark Sky Paradise, and many of the GOOD Fridays songs. Travis has often referred to Kanye as a mentor, a figure who not only taught him about music but allowed him to experience firsthand the art of music creation.
In a recent interview, La Flame reflected on Ye’s influence in his life, saying, “That’s my kids’ uncle.” He described how Kanye took him in at a young age, when Travis was just 19, and helped shape his musical journey. According to Travis, Kanye’s mentorship extended beyond just teaching him; it was about collaborating and creating together. Travis expressed that his time working alongside Kanye played a crucial role in his growth, not only as a producer but as an artist in general, helping him hone his skills in music, film, fashion, and more.
Despite recent controversies surrounding Kanye, including his inflammatory comments online, some of which have targeted the Kardashian family, Travis emphasized the enduring bond they share. His children’s connection to the Kardashian family, with Kylie Jenner being his partner and Kim Kardashian’s sister, may have created tension between Kanye and the family. However, Travis kept it vague for the sake of the history between the two artists.
