Fashion sensibilities had been a topic of discussion surrounding A$AP Rocky and Travis Scott, leading to them being confused for one another on multiple occasions. In September 2015, Scott lost his temper on a fan who referred to him as Rocky, captured in a TMZ video. “I’m not f***ing ASAP, b****,” he said to the bystander. A couple years later, Rocky had a similar instance in June 2017 when he was surrounded by paparazzi as he signed an autograph for a fan and was called Travis.
Part of the reason these mistakes took place was because both rappers dressed in similar styles. According to Rocky, he “inspired” Scott’s penchant for wearing black-colored streetwear fused with high fashion. “When people get inspired, you can’t fault them for that,” the “F***in’ Problems” artist said while appearing on “Ebro in the Morning” in January 2016 (via XXL). Rocky said he was fine with Scott sporting similar outfits. “You’re hearing it from me, let shorty rock. And let the people decide if he a biter or if he authentic,” Rocky added. A couple days later, the rumors of their beef appeared to be put to rest as Scott uploaded a photo to Instagram of the pair on a plane together.
Despite the signs of no friction between the rappers, fans still believed there was beef. Rocky tried to dispel those reports, but the topic of their fashion overlap reignited.
