Travis Scott revealed he flew to another country just for a designer bag... but it wasn't just any designer bag. It was a Louis Vuitton x Murakami.
Attending a panel at Fanatics Fest on Friday as a special guest, the 34-year-old rapper spoke about brand partnerships and collaborations alongside Fanatics founder and CEO Michael Rubin and Tom Brady.
When asked by moderator Caio Amato, Oakley Global President, about what brand partnerships they liked, Scott said, 'I liked everything that Marc Jacobs did when he was at Louis Vuitton. I thought all his collaborations were like...'
Rubin then interrupted Scott to ask him, 'Did you get on an airplane and fly to pick up an LV Murakami bag to Paris from LA?' - referring to Louis Vuitton's popular collab with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami.
Travis then smiled and replied, 'Yeah,' according to an eyewitness.
Rubin continued to call him out about the swanky purchase he flew abroad for.
Rubin told the crowd, 'The guy spent about $300,000 on gas to pick up a bag that he was so excited about. So, I'm just saying, when he likes something, he goes all in.'
Travis explained, 'Yeah, I think that was just something that was fresh. [The] 2000s energy was just crazy. But yeah, if I focus something, I go pull up and get it, for sure. But that's something that's actually... that's crazy.'
Kylie Jenner's ex has been a longtime fan of Louis Vuitton, having had been photographed with the brand's bags in the past. He even returned to France's capital in January to attend Louis Vuitton's Menswear show during Paris Fashion Week.
Speaking on his own past collaborations - he famously has partnered with brands like Nike, McDonald's and Reese's Puffs - he said that everything he collabs with is 'something I've been into since I've been a kid.'
He shared, 'So kind of being able to grow up and take what's in your brain or what you played with as a kid and see it, like, how you wanted to see it as a kid now to life is kind of cool. And I just always wanted to bring the energy.
'I always feel like I tell Rubin this all the time - high corporations always forget about the people sometimes and what they really want. You know what I mean? And so, it's just always cool to just give the people what the f**k they want instead of all this random s**t.'
Scott sported a hoodie that was specially made for Fanatics Fest - something he had drawn up and had requested Rubin come out with six days prior to the three-day sports festival. The zip-up hoodie features logos from four New York teams: Rangers, Knicks, Giants and Yankees.
When asked about the future of collaborations, Scott insisted, 'I think it's about trusting the youth and allowing them to step in the seat and giving them some sort of creative reigns. I think that's the next level of, like, collaboration instead of the one-off partnerships. You know, opening the doors a little bit to more of people that have the real ideas and getting in that lane really just to go off.'
The Sicko Mode singer shared his admiration for the brand with his followers on Instagram

Following the 15-minute panel, everyone left the stage and the lights went out.
Scott's DJ then took the stage at the Javits Center and the Sicko Mode rapper performed a surprise set - with guests (who had their phones locked up) going wild as they jumped and sang along to his hits. He even asked security guards to let guests come closer to the stage.
As he took the stage, he debuted the new Oakley Meta AI glasses, which are capable of capturing Ultra HD point-of-view video while offering Meta AI.
The singer's admission of spending $300,000 on gas to fly to Paris from Los Angeles comes after his ex, Kylie Jenner, received backlash for flying her $72.8 million private jet during the California wildfires earlier this year.
Daily Mail reported that she took her ritzy jet on 11 flights since the fires started in early January. Four out of the 11 flights were under one hour, with the jet spending a shockingly short 15 minutes in the air on one of those journeys.
On January 9, the Bombardier Global 7500 completed one of its shortest trips, a 15-minute flight between Los Angeles and Camarillo, California.
Just three days later, the 27-year-old flew for 36 minutes to Palm Springs, emitting three more tons of CO2 emissions at a cost of $1,555.
On another trip, she flew to London to support boyfriend Timothée Chalamet at the premiere of his new Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, where ironically the actor appeared to swerve a car in favor of a Lime bike for his red carpet arrival.
Making the most of their time in Europe, the loved-up couple then jumped back on the jet for a 47-minute flight across the Channel to Paris, France. The journey emitted four tons of CO2 and 361 gallons of jet fuel at a cost of $2,000.
Kylie was labeled a 'climate criminal' at the time after she posted a statement about wildfire relief efforts and thanking firefighters.
The Kardashians star's jet, nicknamed "Kylie Air," is customized with pink accents and her skincare brand's logo. It features a sleek white exterior and inside, there are personalized features such as a bar with a neon "Kylie" sign, silk Kylie Skin pillows and eye masks, soft Hermes blankets and 10 white leather seats with Kylie's initials.
Kylie has shared many photos of herself and her family on her jet, giving fans a glimpse of her luxe lifestyle.
The mom-of-two shares daughter Stormi Webster, seven, and son Aire Webster, three, with Scott. Although Scott and Jenner are rarely seen together in the public after they split, Kylie brought their daughter to his Coachella set back in April.
