Many folks have speculated on Travis Scott's relationship with Drake amid the Kendrick Lamar battle, but it seems like they're still in sync.

Drake and Travis Scott haven't released a collab since 2023's "MELTDOWN," but their chemistry shines through even when they're not together. La Flame recently rocked the stage at Coachella on Saturday night (April 12), and fans did not expect to hear a brand new fusion of these two rappers' bouncy hits. The Houston superstar performed a mashup of his UTOPIA standout "MODERN JAM" featuring Teezo Touchdown and Drizzy's solo hit "NOKIA" off his PARTYNEXTDOOR collab album this year, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. This edit became popular on social media thanks to users like @spectre0799 on Twitter, who had previously Travis' vocals on Elkan's production.

Maybe this means these two will have a fresh collab coming soon, but that might just be a bunch of hope-ium from fans who liked the mashup. Other fans raised their eyebrows, though, as they believe Travis Scott and Drake's relationship is unclear. Although many rumors of a rift emerged amid the Kendrick Lamar battle – which also roped in Future, Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, and many more frequent Cactus Jack collaborators – nothing ever confirmed this.

Do Drake & Travis Scott Have Beef?

In fact, Travis Scott saw Drake's tour stop via FaceTime, so this most recent indications along with this Coachella mashup seem to suggest there is no beef at all. For those unaware of some of the mysterious moves people scrutinized, one of them was how Travis seemed to urge Future and Metro Boomin to play the 6ix God-dissing "Like That" (save for Kendrick Lamar's surprise feature) at Rolling Loud California last year. Other instances include Aubrey Graham making gun signs at a Travis head prop during a concert and the "SIRENS" creative linking up with OVO opp Cash XO last January.

But all this seems to be irrelevant now, as Travis Scott and Drake seem to still be on good terms. Seeing this viral mashup live must have been a very cool moment to witness, along with many other 2025 Coachella moments. We will see if either of their new music plans for the future includes the other. Hopefully that's the case, as it seems like every track they craft together is a blockbuster event.
