<p id=”par-2_16″>Before <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kylie-jenner-richer-travis-scotts-ex-rihanna.html/”>Travis Scott was romantically linked</a> to Tyla or Kylie Jenner, rumors surrounded him and Rihanna.</p>
<p id=”par-3_61″>Scott and Rihanna were first linked romantically back in 2015, when multiple entertainment outlets reported the pair were “hooking up” and possibly officially dating after Rihanna attended several of Scott’s New York City shows. Neither artist publicly confirmed the relationship at the time. However, industry insiders suggested they quietly saw each other and that Scott viewed Rihanna as a creative muse.</p>
<p id=”par-4_57″>In an interview on ESPN’s <em>Highly Questionable</em> in 2015, Scott laughed off direct questions about his status with the pop icon. Hosts Bomani Jones and Dan Le Batard asked Scott whether his mother approves of his choices, and they segued this into rumors surrounding Rihanna. The hosts asked if his mom had seen the headline-making dating talk.</p>
<p id=”par-5_45″>Scott laughed off the question. “Yeah, you know, she calls me about all types of stuff she sees on TV,” the rapper told the hosts about his mother, not referencing Rihanna specifically. When the hosts continued to mention Rihanna, Scott laughed, “Ya’ll are crazy, bro.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_24″>One of the hosts then asked Scott how his life had changed since having Rihanna in his life. Scott continued to evade the question.</p>
<p id=”par-7_37″>“C’mon, man,” Scott said. “Are you guys serious?” He then noted that he likes to keep that part of his life private. “She’s an amazing artist,” Scott said of Rihanna. “Her album is amazing. There we go.”</p>

<p id=”par-8_16″>In September 2015, Rihanna and Travis Scott fans couldn’t stop talking about their possible romance. </p>
<p id=”par-9_22″>“They are not exclusive, but could become that,” a source told <a href=”https://www.etonline.com/news/171626_rihanna_hooking_up_with_rapper_travis_scott” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Entertainment Tonight</a> at the time. “They both are enjoying time together.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_39″>“Something is definitely going on with those two,” another source told the outlet. “She was sitting in the VIP section and was singing and dancing along to all his songs. She looked like she was having a great time.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_35″>Scott also raised eyebrows for his comments about the pop sensation. In Complex‘s Dec. 2015/Jan. 2016 cover story, the rapper used three words to describe Rihanna. According to <a href=”https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/travis-scott-rihanna-complex-6784879/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Billboard</a>, he called her “creative,” “inspiring,” and “muse.”</p>
<p id=”par-12_18″>Over a decade later, it’s still unclear to fans whether Rihanna and Scott were truly romantically linked. </p>

<p id=”par-13_58″>Travis Scott and South African singer Tyla first drew significant public attention together in late 2023, when Scott joined her on the remix of her breakout hit “Water.” Since then, their professional relationship has continued to grow. Tyla confirmed as a guest on Scott’s 2025 <em>JackBoys 2</em> album and the pair collaborating again on his single “PBT.” </p>
<p id=”par-14_64″>The buzz about a possible romance first surfaced in November 2023, when the two were spotted together at the GQ Men of the Year party in Los Angeles shortly after their “Water” remix dropped. In late 2025, dating rumors reignited following their continued collaborations and visible chemistry in the “PBT” music video, which features scenes interpreted by fans as reminiscent of an intimate outing.</p>
<p id=”par-15_38″>Despite the whispers in the media, fans on <a href=”https://www.reddit.com/r/travisscott/comments/1pqyn62/tyla_and_travis_scott_rumored_to_be_dating/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Reddit</a> are skeptical that the two are actually interested in each other. Fans will have to wait and see whether the rapper and the pop star are meant to be.</p>
