Why Fans Believe A$AP Rocky Is Dissing Rihanna's Ex Travis Scott in New Song
A$AP Rocky took aim at an unnamed rival while debuting a new song at Rolling Loud Miami on Sunday -- and fans are pretty sure it's all about Rihanna's rumored past relationship with Travis Scott.
The A$AP Mob rapper previewed three unreleased songs during his headlining set, offering a taste of what's to come on his forthcoming album, Don't Be Dumb. One verse in particular quickly went viral on social media.
"First you stole my flow, so I stole your b***h / Then you stole my style, I need at least like 10 percent," he rapped. "All due disrespect, I hope you take offense."

Though the pair never explicitly confirmed a romance, Scott was linked to Rihanna in 2015. Around that time, Scott served as a supporting act on Rihanna's Anti tour, and he co-wrote and co-produced her hit single, "B***h Better Have My Money."
Today, the "Lift Me Up" songstress is in a relationship with A$AP Rocky and the couple is currently expecting their second child together after welcoming son RZA, 1, in May 2022.
In recent months, A$AP Rocky fueled speculation that he and Rihanna had secretly gotten married when he referred to her as his "wife" during a performance.
Meanwhile, Scott -- who headlined Saturday's Rolling Loud lineup -- will release his highly anticipated new album, Utopia, on July 28.
Though his lyrics are vague, they've prompted fans to continue hashing out a long-running hot button debate about whether Scott cribbed his style from A$AP Rocky. Back in 2022, the latter was asked about just that in an interview on "Drink Champs."
"Travis Scott stole his whole style from A$AP Rocky," Revolt's N.O.R.E. said during the bit, to which the musician agreed by nodding his head while saying, "Yeah."

In the relationship department, Scott has long moved on and started a family of his own with Kylie Jenner. The pair are parents to daughter Stormi, 5, and son Aire, 1, but went their separate ways as a couple earlier this year.
"The two have had an up-and-down relationship," a source told ET in April, "and although they aren't together right now, it doesn't mean it's over for good."
