Travis Scott says he jetted to another country to buy a luxury bag - spending '$300K on gas' in the process
Travis Scott has revealed he flew to another country just for a designer bag, and spent '$300K on gas' to do so.
Attending a panel at Fanatics Fest on Friday as a special guest, the rapper, 34, spoke about brand partnerships and collaborations alongside the company's founder and CEO Michael Rubin and Tom Brady.
When asked about what brand partnerships they liked, Scott said: 'I liked everything that Marc Jacobs did when he was at Louis Vuitton.'
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 $300K 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.'
The rapper has been a longtime fan of Louis Vuitton, having 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 has famously partnered with brands like Nike, McDonald's, and Reese's Puffs - he said that every brand he links up 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*** they want instead of all this random s***.'
When asked about the future of collaborations, Travis said: '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.'
Following the 15-minute panel, everyone left the stage and the lights went out.
Travis's DJ then took to the stage at the Javits Center and the rapper performed a surprise set - with guests (who had their phones locked up) going wild as they jumped and sang along to his hits.
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.

Leonardo DiCaprio continues trying to stay under the radar by hiding his face under both a hat and hoodie as he and girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti leave Venice after Bezos wedding extravaganza
Leonardo DiCaprio continued his attempts to pass unrecognised as he departed Venice on Sunday morning, following Saturday night's final party of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's wedding extravaganza. The movie star, 50, was joined by his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, 27, at the swanky three-day celebration, with the couple making their exit alongside fellow actor Orlando Bloom. And despite being one of Hollywood's most famous leading men, Leo attempted to keep a low profile by covering his face throughout his journey to the airport. Climbing into the waiting Venetian water taxi, he hid beneath his trademark low sitting baseball cap and for extra concealment, pulled up his hooded jumper over his head. In contrast, his girlfriend of two years, Vittoria, put on a leggy display in a fashionable summer minidress, as she received a helping hand onto the boat. As Leo disappeared to the lower decks, the model remained stood up at the back of the boat and chatted to Orlando as they sped towards the mainland. Orlando flashed a wide grin as he climbed aboard, wearing a button-up shirt left open to reveal a white vest underneath and several pendant necklaces. Hollywood's newest bachelor embraced his new single status on the Italian getaway, coming just after news broke that he and his fiancée Katy Perry, 40, had called off their engagement. The Pirates of the Caribbean star was spotted in the back of a Venetian water taxi with a woman on Thursday, who was later revealed to be Jamie Mizrahi, 36, who was actually a former stylist for Katy and Meghan Markle. Orlando was also spotted enjoying a Venetian brunch the following morning and sipping on cocktails poolside with celebrity pals Leo and Tom Brady during a boys' day out. Described as the 'wedding of a century,' Bezos, 61, and Sanchez, 55, exchanged vows in front of nearly 200 VIPs on San Giorgio Maggiore island in Venice, Italy, on Friday. The nuptials began on Thursday with the first of three days of parties in Venice, followed by the intimate ceremony on Friday and then a star-studded rave. Around 200 of the world's wealthiest people were gathering for a final night's fun, and many of the VIP guests were spotted bidding goodbye to the Italian city the following morning, including Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates. The Amazon founder, worth £177billion, took over the Italian city for a wedding estimated to have cost up to £40million, small change for the world's third richest man. . In contrast, his girlfriend of two years, Vittoria, put on a leggy display in a fashionable summer minidress, as she received a helping hand onto the boat But 700 demonstrators gathered at Santa Lucia railway station carrying protest banners and waving inflatable crocodiles. The demo was organised by the No Space For Bezos group, with some carrying Amazon boxes with the words: 'Ordered, Shipped, Delivered, Rejected.' While insiders revealed that the billionaire and journalist were already legally married, with a source closely connected to the organisation of the week's events saying: 'They have been married for at least a month, more than a month. 'The marriage is fully legal and took place in America under American law.' The source added: 'When they were planning the wedding, they were clear about the fact that they were already secretly married. There is no application for a wedding license from the couple because it was not required. 'Whatever happens at the wedding on Friday, it will not be a wedding. Under Italian law, it will not be a wedding celebration, any vows said or rings exchanged will have no legal meaning.' The source added that Bezos had personally confirmed that he and Sanchez – who met when both were married to other people – are already legally married, and that they had also signed a pre-nuptial agreement to protect his $244 billion fortune. The wedding, held two years after Bezos proposed to Sanchez aboard his $500million superyacht, was described as 'extremely intimate' with a strict no-phone policy - with around 70 of the 200 guests being family members. The only images that emerged of the nuptials came via Sanchez's official Instagram account - and photos of guests leaving the night-time celebrations were scarce. She revealed to Vogue her wedding dress was inspired by the high-necked lace wedding dress Sophia Loren wore to marry Cary Grant in the 1958 film Houseboat. She also revealed that Bezos had begged to see her in the gown, but as is tradition for most brides, she explained that she wasn't going to let him lay his eyes upon it until the big day. 'I almost gave in,' she admitted. 'But I want it to be a surprise. As you get a little older, not many things surprise you. I can't wait to see his face.' This was not the only tradition the couple stuck with: Sanchez also donned 'something borrowed' for the ceremony - a pair of Dolce earrings. And she explained to Vogue that her 'something blue' was from her Blue Origin flight, revealing she carried a secret souvenir up in the rocket so she could bring it back for Bezos 'because it was one of the most profound experiences I've had in my life.' Sánchez went on: 'Seeing Earth from space, I came down and I couldn't describe it. It was the greatest experience I've ever had'. The Bezos couple are thought to have splashed out a staggering $20million on their multiple-day extravagant wedding bash. As guests arrived at the reception on Friday, they were welcomed by the stirring sounds of trumpets, violins, and a soulful Gospel choir. That same choir returned to belt out Whitney Houston's Higher Love right after the couple exchanged their vows, with guests cheering and singing along during the heartfelt moment. Opera singer Matteo Bocelli kicked off the wedding reception with a touching tribute, opening his set with the timeless Elvis Presley classic I Can't Help Falling in Love With You. The son of renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli stepped in since his father was tied up with concerts in southern Italy over the weekend.

Rod Stewart kicks off Glastonbury Legends slot by dedicating his hit Love Train to the Ukraine as he plays to huge crowd at Worthy Farm
Rod Stewart has arrived on stage at Glastonbury, playing to a huge crowd for the Pyramid Stage's Legends slot. Walking on stage with his huge band and mini-dressed clad backing singers to the sound of bag pipes Sir Rod told the thousands gathered: 'Oi Oi I'm here, enjoy yourselves lady and gentlemen please!' He kicked off his set with his hit Tonight I'm Yours before telling fans how 'm,usic brings us together, we're having a party' and going into Having A Party. Stopped to catch his breath and remove his sparkling jacketr in the searing heat, he then told fans 'This is so lovely. I'm so excited I can hardly breathe.' 'There's been a lot about the Middle East lately, quite rightly so but I want to draw your attention to the Ukraine with the next song, called The Love Train!' Shortly before his slot, Rod's wife Penny Lancaster arrived at Glastonbury festival to support her husband. She was joined by her sons, model Alistair, 19, who was wearing a leopard print coat in preparation for his father's set and Aiden, 14. The matriarch, 54, looked very bohemian as she wore a tassel coat, oversized sunglasses, balloon trousers and a leopard print bag. The 80-year-old singer's teatime set comes the day after he claimed the country was 'fed up' with the Tories and that Labour was trying to ditch Brexit. He accused Prime Minister Keir Starmer of giving Scottish fishing rights 'back to the EU', although the Government insists it has simply renewed an existing deal for European boats. His views represent a second volte-face given that he appeared to support Labour at last year's election – despite previously backing the Conservatives. Asked where Britain's political future now lay, he told The Times: 'It's hard for me because I'm extremely wealthy, and I deserve to be, so a lot of it doesn't really touch me. 'But that doesn't mean I'm out of touch. For instance, I've read about Starmer cutting off the fishing in Scotland and giving it back to the EU. That hasn't made him popular. 'We're fed up with the Tories. We've got to give Farage a chance. He's coming across well. What options have we got? I know some of his family, I know his brother, and I quite like him.' Asked what Mr Farage stands for aside from Brexit, tighter immigration and controversial economic promises he replied: 'Yeah, yeah. But Starmer's all about getting us out of Brexit and I don't know how he's going to do that. 'Still, the country will survive. It could be worse. We could be in the Gaza Strip.' Sir Rod also seemed unconvinced that Sir Keir was going to fully address one of his personal pet hates. Three years ago, the singer donned a hi-vis jacket and rang around friends asking for help filling in potholes outside his Essex house. 'I took me Ferrari out. Nearly lost the f***ing wheel,' he said. 'And before I did in the Ferrari, I saw an ambulance that couldn't move, the wheel stuck right in there. 'So I took me mates out, and we knew what to do because I had builders in the house. 'We filled in a considerable length of the road, actually.' He added that potholes were still present 'all over Britain' in contrast to Europe.
