Watch the shoes! Meek Mill, Travis Scott, and their respective entourages got into an altercation at a Hamptons White Party this weekend, presumably scuffing several innocent white sneakers in the process. The rappers had a confrontation outside the party, thrown by 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin, around 1:30 a.m. on July 5, but were pulled apart before it escalated. According to “Page Six,” Mill can be heard yelling in footage as Scott — the only one who showed up wearing black — walks away from the party.

Sources say it’s unclear what set them off and the rappers have no previous issues, though Meek Mill is no stranger to a parking lot … business meeting.

The over-the-top, star-studded party was also attended by Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Alex Rodriguez (his ex J.Lo also spent the holiday in the area), Jon Bon Jovi, Quavo, Kid Cudi, Tinashe, Lil Baby, and more. City Girl JT posted a video of her man Lil Uzi Vert break-dancing and in the background, James Harden is tickling Meek Mill. According to social-media footage, several musicians performed while others took the night off. Notice how there’s no photos of Beyoncé? The queen knows white parties were made to get messy.

 

Travis Scott Won’t Bring His Utopia to the Pyramids​

Update, July 18: Travis Scott’s planned performance at the Pyramids of Giza gave Egypt some goose bumps. The country’s General Syndicate for Musical Professions will no longer allow Scott to perform at the site, according to Egyptian outlets. In a translated statement from Egypt Today, Dr. Mohamed Abdullah cited concerns over “peculiar rituals” at Scott’s concerts, further saying the show “goes against the cultural identity of the Egyptian people.” While the statement didn’t specify the rituals, some publications referenced a debunked Satanism theory about Scott’s Astroworld tragedy.
The original story follows.

Travis Scott is finally unveiling his Utopia, with quite the background to match. The rapper will livestream a performance of his long-teased new album at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt on July 28. A press release teased “an unforgettable show that will immerse fans in the world of Utopia.” Scott has been readying the album for years, but it got heavily delayed after the crowd-crush tragedy at his Astroworld Festival in 2021, which left ten people dead. Since then, Scott has inched his way back to performing live with a series of festival sets and nightclub performances. The Egypt announcement comes just days after news that he won’t face criminal charges over Astroworld, yet civil litigation against Scott remains ongoing. He does realize he’ll be doing his big promotional show in front of massive tombs, right?
