Travis Scott’s ‘Jackboys 2’ might just be racing ahead in the music charts, expected to outsell Clipse’s ‘Let God Sort Em Out’ by a wide margin. The much-anticipated follow-up is set to nab the top spot on the Billboard 200, even with its unconventional Sunday release.
Released two days later than expected, ‘Jackboys 2’ is making waves with predictions of over 200,000 equivalent units sold in its first week. Meanwhile, Clipse’s reunion album is looking at about 90,000 units, landing them at number four on the charts.
In a recent twist, Pusha T has openly expressed his discontent with Travis Scott, especially after Scott’s ‘Meltdown’ track, which purportedly includes a Drake verse taking shots at Pusha’s collaborator Pharrell Williams. Pusha T didn’t hold back in a Clipse single, directly addressing Scott with biting lyrics.
In a GQ interview, Pusha T shed light on his beef with Scott, describing a scenario in Paris where Scott allegedly disrupted a recording session. “He sees me and Malice there. He’s like, ‘Oh, man, everybody’s here,’ he’s smiling, laughing, jumping around, doing his things. We weren’t into the music, but he wanted to play it, wanted to film us,” Pusha recounts.
The beef seems rooted in what Pusha T perceives as Scott’s lack of loyalty. He criticizes Scott for what he calls ‘underhanded, weird’ behavior, pointing out that Scott’s actions are not isolated incidents. “I ain’t with that. This stuff ain’t coming out of nowhere. Bro, I promise you they did the underhanded, weird stuff,” Pusha adds.
However, despite the tension, both artists maintain a strong presence in the music scene, each with a dedicated fanbase eager to see how this plays out. The competition in album sales adds another layer to their ongoing rivalry.
Whether it’s through music or charts, Travis Scott and Clipse are keeping fans riveted. With ‘Jackboys 2’ potentially leading the sales race, fans are eagerly watching how both albums will fare in the coming weeks. Regardless of the rivalry, the focus remains on the music’s impact and the stories behind it.
