Travis Scott and Drake, two of rap’s biggest names, have always had a complicated relationship. They joined forces to create the massive 2018 hit “Sicko Mode” and were unfortunately both present during the tragic Astroworld Festival in 2021. Despite their long-standing association, recent actions from Travis Scott have ignited fresh rumors of tension between the two superstars.

This speculation began to resurface on January 6, when Travis Scott made his debut appearance on WWE Monday Night RAW. The event was historic for being the first WWE RAW episode to air exclusively on Netflix. Scott, ever the showman, made waves not only for teasing new music and mingling with wrestling legends like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson but also for his surprising companion: Cash XO.
For the uninitiated, Cash XO is a close ally of The Weeknd and co-founder of XO Records. Cash’s appearance alongside Travis Scott has fans questioning the rapper’s allegiance to Drake. In 2024, Drake infamously targeted Cash XO in a diss track, adding fuel to a larger feud involving Scott’s mentor Kanye West and others in the music industry.
The Backstory: Drake vs. Cash XO
Drake’s lyrical takedown of Cash XO came in the form of his 2024 diss track “Push Ups.” On the track, Drake took jabs at Cash’s business moves, claiming his success was due to Drake’s influence rather than genuine talent. The fiery verse included lines like:
“Cash blowin’ Abel bread out here trickin’ / Sht we do for btches he doin’ for n**as / Spend it like you tryna fck, boy, you trippin’, boy, you trippin’.”

The diss caused a rift within the industry, with Cash and The Weeknd staying quiet on the matter while Drake’s criticism drew mixed reactions. Travis Scott, notably, kept his distance during this feud. However, his continued closeness to both The Weeknd and Cash XO has led fans to wonder where his loyalties truly lie.
Travis Scott’s WWE RAW Debut and the Cash XO Connection
Scott’s WWE RAW debut was a spectacle that had fans buzzing. He posted photos with wrestling icons like Shawn Michaels and hyped his appearance with a cryptic social media post. However, the most eyebrow-raising moment came when he posed alongside Cash XO, cementing their public friendship.
The move sparked immediate reactions from fans who are already questioning Scott’s relationship with Drake. Many pointed to the fact that Scott has openly praised The Weeknd, a known collaborator of Cash XO, for his role in launching Scott’s career. In October 2024, Travis told a sold-out crowd, “If it wasn’t for [The Weeknd], I probably wouldn’t be on this stage right now.”

While some fans took this as a sign of Travis distancing himself from Drake, others pointed to a recent DJ set where Scott played unreleased Drake tracks. The mixed signals have left fans speculating about whether the two artists are still on good terms.
What’s Next for Travis Scott and Drake?
The interplay between Scott and Drake is as intriguing as ever. Both rappers are known for their larger-than-life personas and strategic moves within the industry. Scott’s decision to appear with Cash XO could be a deliberate statement—or merely a coincidence.
For now, fans are left to dissect every move, every Instagram post, and every subtle gesture for clues. Is this a calculated move by Travis to align himself closer with The Weeknd and Cash XO? Or is his relationship with Drake still intact despite the public drama?
As both artists continue to dominate the music scene, the intrigue surrounding their relationship only adds another layer to their allure. For Travis Scott, whose new music is highly anticipated, this WWE RAW appearance and the accompanying speculation could be the perfect promotional storm.
One thing is clear: whether it’s in the studio or the wrestling ring, Travis Scott knows how to keep people talking.
