Talk about a blast from the past!
This might come as a surprise to some of our newer readers, but for the OGs, remember back in 2015 when Rihanna and Travis Scott were rumored to be an item? That’s right, years before the Astroworld rapper would go on to couple up with baby momma Kylie Jenner and become one of the most talked-about power couples of this generation?
Travis (unsuccessfully) tried his best to contain the chatter back then and unfortunately for everyone involved, the topic of his romance with the Diamonds songstress recently got put on blast for us all to discuss!

During an episode of the Throwing Fits podcast, cohosts Lawrence Schlossman and James Harris got into a conversation with journalist Jonah Weiner about celebrities who hated something they wrote about them. That’s when Schlossman divulged the Houston-native rapper wasn’t happy that he “exposed” how Scott and Rihanna were seeing each other on the low back in the day! He said:
“I broke the news about him and Rihanna, which they told me not to do.”
Scholssman went on to explain how Complex editor Joe LaPuma advised him against breaking the news when he wrote for the outlet from 2015-2016. LaPuma reportedly lamented on how that decision later hurt the outlet’s relationship with Travis and “for the next couple of years, he would complain about that.”
We know some celebrities prefer a little discretion, but it’s surprising the artist wanted to keep his relationship with one of the most beautiful and prolific entertainers a dirty little secret. It’s freaking RIHANNA we’re talking about here!! The journalist previously sat down with the Butterfly Effect rapper for Complex‘s winter issue that year and while he called Rih “inspiring” and “creative,” he also requested the article not dwell on the issue.
But Scholssman got a little shady while retelling that old story, as he quipped:
“It’s not because he’s like, ‘Don’t tell anyone I’m smashing Rihanna.’ It’s because Rihanna’s like, ‘Don’t tell anyone that I’m smashing Travis Scott, please.” [It’s] obviously embarrassing as f**k.”
Ouch!! Okay, now we understand why he wasn’t so keen on going public…
It didn’t seem like the Bajan songstress was too ashamed of her boo at the time! Sources close to the pair previously told Us Weekly they were “very serious” and all about that PDA-life when they used to frequent parties during 2015 New York Fashion Week together:
“They were dancing extremely close. They are totally together. They weren’t hiding at all.”
Crazzzzy to think how different things would be today if they had worked out!
But as we all know, that fling didn’t last! Just two years later, Travis started dating Kylie and the rest, as they say, is history. The couple announced they were taking a break in October 2019 but have since reconciled and continue to co-parent their two-year-old daughter, Stormi Webster.
BTW, as far as we know, Rihanna is still single after ending her relationship with Saudi businessman Hassan Jameel. So go ahead and shoot your shot, fellas!
