Travis Scott made his Oscars allegiance clear, and it wasn't with his ex's new flame. The rapper took to Instagram Stories to celebrate Michael B. Jordan's Best Actor victory for Sinners, a win that came at the expense of Timothée Chalamet—Kylie Jenner's current boyfriend.
Scott shared an emotional snapshot of Jordan clutching his Oscar, alongside a photo of the film's writer-director Ryan Coogler. This public endorsement came as Chalamet, who was considered a frontrunner for his role in Marty Supreme, faced backlash over controversial comments about ballet and opera.
The ex-couple, who share children Stormi and Aire, split in 2023 after an on-again, off-again relationship since 2017. Jenner moved on with Chalamet shortly after, though sources say co-parenting remains amicable.

Chalamet's Oscar hopes were dampened by a viral clip from a February town hall, where he dismissed ballet and opera as "dying art forms." The actor, whose family has deep ties to the New York City Ballet, later joked about losing "14 cents in viewership" for his remarks.
The controversy didn't go unnoticed at the Oscars. Host Conan O'Brien opened the show with a quip about tight security due to "concerns about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities," panning to Chalamet and Jenner laughing in the audience.

While Scott's social media move may seem like subtle shade, it underscores the lingering dynamics in Hollywood's tangled web of relationships. As the dust settles on the 2026 Oscars, the real drama appears to be playing out off-screen.
