Rolling Loud Miami organizers tapped A$AP Rocky and Travis Scott as headliners for the 2023 edition—but the two rap stars have more in common.
Scott dated Barbadian megastar Rihanna around 2015. Rihanna is currently pregnant with her second child by A$AP Rocky. The celebrity couple have been dating for more than two years.
A$AP Rocky and Travis Scott have other connections as well. Scott cursed out a bystander in 2015 after the person confused him for Rocky. Allegations of swagger jacking are part of their shared history as well.
“It’s times when I feel like I’ve pioneered a lot of s### but don’t get acknowledgment from certain people or artists,” Rocky answered in 2018 when asked about Scott allegedly stealing his style. “I think a lot of people see it too.”
The following year, A$AP Rocky declared any beef he may have had with Travis Scott was “played out” and told fans to “let it go.”

Then in a 2022 interview with Drink Champs, Rocky acknowledged his belief that he inspired Scott.
The potential bad blood between A$AP Rocky and Travis Scott could be on the rise. Rocky’s set at Rolling Loud Miami on Sunday (July 23) left listeners questioning if he took a subtle shot at Scott.
“First you stole my flow, so I stole your b####,” A$AP Rocky rapped onstage. Those lyrics spread across the internet, and social media users began debating whether they were intended for the “Sicko Mode” rapper.
Travis Scott headlined Night 2 of the 2023 Rolling Loud Miami festival on Saturday (July 22). The father of Kylie Jenner’s two children is expected to drop his fourth studio album, Utopia, on Friday (July 28).
