Travis Scott has announced that he’ll debut his new track “4×4” on a big stage: during halftime of the College Football Playoff National Championship game.
The game, which will be televised on ESPN at 7:30 PM ET on Monday (January 20), pits Notre Dame against Ohio State, and will take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

Scott’s halftime performance will be the first time “4×4” will be heard in public, though it has been teased.
Back in November, it was announced that Scott would be creating a theme song for WWE’s Monday Night Raw show. Right before the program’s first show of 2025 on January 6, Scott played a snippet of the song, “4×4,” on his Instagram Live.

In other Scott news, he recently reportedly found a new way to get around: a limited edition $160K custom Hemi Hellcat V8 Horsepower Apocalypse Omega-Rex pickup truck.
TMZreported the purchase, from SoFlo Customs, on Tuesday (January 14).

The “ultimate pickup” Travis snagged was reportedly the last of the bunch.
Travis has other worries besides a potential apocalypse — namely a lawsuit over his song with Future and SZA, “Telekinesis.”

Victory Boyd, a Roc Nation artist, filed suit against Scott, SZA, Future, and the other credited songwriters on the track, as well as watchmakers Audemars Piguet, in federal court in New York on January 8. She claims that “Telekinesis” uses aspects of her song “Like The Way It Sounds” without permission.
Boyd claims that back in November 2019, she wrote “Like The Way It Sounds,” and then shared it with Kanye West. She then says that West, who is not named in the suit, played Boyd’s track for Scott, and that Scott, in turn, shared it with Future and SZA, and “Telekinesis” followed.
Scott’s song, the suit claims, uses aspects of “Like The Way It Sounds,” saying specifically that the hook of “Telekinesis” contains lyrics that are “directly copied” from Boyd’s track.
Audemars Piguet figures in because, Boyd says, the company used Scott’s song in an ad even after they asked her permission and she said no.

In Boyd’s favor — something she points out in the suit — is that she is as of the date of its filing listed as one of the song’s composers on Spotify — information she says came directly from the people she’s suing. She also claims that she was recently offered an eight percent stake in the song.
