, now Ye’s latest run of online outbursts has everyone talking—again. From cryptic posts to digs at former friends, the timeline is wild. But just when things seem messiest, someone from Ye’s past steps up. Travis Scott, the kid who came up in Ye’s shadow, has something to say

. But is it support, shade, or something more complicated? Their history is deep—and the timing of Travis Scott’s words could not be more interesting.  

While Ye’s throwing curveballs online, Scott is remembering where it all began. Long before the chaos, he was the teen Ye let into the room, the beats, and the madness. Now, with Ye making noise for all the wrong reasons, Travis Scott quietly drops a reminder of where it started.

In a new Complex interview

, Travis Scott shared a rare look into how his creative journey began—saying he was just 19 when Ye brought him in

. At just 19, Travis Scott found himself in rooms most artists only dream of. He was not just observing; he was making beats, learning the ropes, and building his voice in real time. Calling Ye “my kid’s uncle,”

Travis Scott explained how those early days were less about lectures and more about living the process, right in the thick of the action. He did not stop at music.

Travis Scott told Complex that he and Ye were cooking up more than just tracks—they were in on clothes, film, anything that sparked their creative fire. No limits, no playbook. Travis Scott said it best: they were always “constantly learning.”

Being in Ye’s orbit gave him more than advice—it gave him freedom to create without rules. That energy helped build the Travis Scott we know today, from mosh pit bangers to fashion drops that break the internet.
