Drake and Travis Scott weren't the only rappers who pulled up to Ye's stadium concert in Houston, and their appearance caused debate.

Kanye West held a record-breaking concert in Houston last night (Saturday, October 31), which now boasts the United States attendance record for a hip-hop show (80,210 fans). Playboi Carti even popped out to perform as a special guest. But two other rappers attended the show who made fans even more curious: Drake and Travis Scott.

After they went courtside for a Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder game in H-Town that night, the "SICKO MODE" duo sat down in the crowd to watch Ye perform, as caught by Kurrco on Twitter. They appear in the left corner of the clip below, and some fans are skeptical about it.

One of the reasons why fans are asking questions is due to Drake and Kanye West's unclear relationship. Ye previously dissed Drizzy amid the 2024 rap battle, but later changed his tune the next year when Kendrick Lamar got the Super Bowl halftime show. Since then, Drake hasn't done too much to indicate he's open to burying the hatchet beyond liking the occasional social media post about the Chicago rapper.

Fans are now wondering if they're back on good terms and whether or not they might collaborate soon. We'll just have to wait and see.

Travis Scott & Drake

Elsewhere, Drake and Travis Scott's dynamic was also scrutinized. Travis seemed to enjoy "Like That" back when it dropped, and a lack of encounters between the frequent collaborators have led many to speculate that they may have beef. That's clearly no longer the case, but fans are still questioning why they have linked up again and what conversations they may have had.

It's hard to keep track of all these beef narratives. But it seems like, little by little, the Toronto superstar is letting people back in his corner after presumed grievances.

Kanye West might squash more beef as well, as rumors of him popping out at the Jay-Z Super Bowl halftime show have swirled a lot since Hov's announcement. That outcome, however, seems very unlikely.

We'll see if the "Fair Trade" duo's appearance at the Ye show leads to more firm answers on these beef questions in the future. For now, fans can only speculate.
