AceShowbiz - Travis Scott, rapper and father of two children with Kylie Jenner, stirred buzz after seemingly mocking Timothée Chalamet's loss at the Oscars. The incident unfolded following the 2026 Academy Awards, where Michael B. Jordan took home the Best Actor award.

On Oscar night, Michael B. Jordan delivered a heartfelt acceptance speech, breaking down in tears as he was honoured for his portrayal of twins Smoke and Stack in the film Sinners. This marked Michael B. Jordan's first Oscar win, an emotional milestone that captivated many viewers.

Shortly after the ceremony, Travis Scott posted an image on his Instagram Stories showing Michael B. Jordan wiping tears on stage at the Dolby Theatre. Fans quickly interpreted this post as a pointed jab at his ex-girlfriend Kylie Jenner's current partner, Timothée Chalamet, who had been nominated but did not win the award.

The rapper shares two children with Kylie Jenner—Stormi, aged eight, and Aire, four—and the tension between him and Timothée Chalamet has drawn attention amid their complicated personal connections. Comments on social media ranged from calling Travis Scott a "professional hater" to praising the post as "iconic," especially given his usual lack of interest in the Oscars.

Meanwhile, Timothée Chalamet faced additional public scrutiny during the event from the night's host, Conan O'Brien. The talk show host poked fun at Timothée Chalamet during his opening monologue, referencing the controversy sparked by the actor’s recent comments about opera and ballet.

At a town hall event hosted by Matthew McConaughey on February 24, 2026, at the University of Texas at Austin, Timothée Chalamet made remarks that did not sit well with fans and critics alike. He admitted he didn’t want to work in ballet or opera, implying those art forms were no longer widely appreciated. He also acknowledged the backlash.

This candid admission led to significant backlash online and complicated his public image, casting a shadow over his Oscars appearance. Timothée Chalamet's night grew more uncomfortable when a viral moment showed an awkward interaction between Kylie Jenner and his sister, Pauline Chalamet.

The clip revealed Pauline Chalamet approaching her brother inside the Dolby Theatre while Kylie Jenner, seated behind them, attempted to get Pauline's attention and reached out for a brief hug. Viewers quickly labeled the encounter as “awkward” and “forced,” with some suggesting it looked like the pair had never met before and calling the moment a typical example of a “PR relationship.”

Earlier in the awards season, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner made headlines for their relationship confirmation at the Critics' Choice Awards. During his acceptance speech, Timothée Chalamet referred to Kylie Jenner as his "partner of three years" and his "foundation," concluding with a heartfelt, "I love you. I couldn't do this without you."

Although the couple did not walk the red carpet together—Timothée Chalamet arrived solo—they were later seen sitting together during the ceremony. Behind-the-scenes footage showed them interacting and engaging off-screen, fueling public interest in their relationship.

However, not all moments suggested smooth sailing. Nicola Hickling, a lipreader, claimed there was noticeable tension between the two, alleging that Kylie Jenner told the Dune star he was "being a child." Nicola further claimed that Kylie Jenner questioned actress Elle Fanning about whether Timothée Chalamet seemed "cold" during the event, hinting at underlying relationship friction.

Despite the drama off-stage, Michael B. Jordan's victory stood as the night's highlight, with his powerful performance in Sinners earning him a well-deserved Oscar. The emotional moment contrasted sharply with the ongoing personal and public challenges surrounding Travis Scott, Timothée Chalamet, and Kylie Jenner.
