Travis Scott sparked online speculation after sharing a post following the Academy Awards that some fans believed was aimed at Timothée Chalamet, who lost the Best Actor award to Michael B. Jordan.

Travis Scott seemingly took a subtle jab at his ex-partner’s current boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet.
The moment came after the Academy Awards, where Chalamet, 30, was nominated for Best Actor but ultimately lost the award to Michael B. Jordan. Jordan, 39, appeared visibly emotional as he accepted the honor for his dual performance in the film “Sinners.”
