Scott's new song features a very specific reference to Chalamet's upcoming film, Wonka, and his ex-girlfriend Jenner in a somewhat cryptic manner. As per TMZ, the lyrics were very specific to the new couple. "Chocolate AP [Audemars Piguet] and Chocolate the Vs" began a verse in the lyric and paid homage to Scott's favorite watch luxe brand.

The next one followed with a direct reference to the protagonist of Wonka. "Got the Willy Wonka Factory (Vs)". Lastly, he urges his ex-girlfriend to 'find another flame'. "Burn an athlete like its calories. Find another flame, hot as me b****," said Scott's lyrics from Meltdown. A thread on Twitter went into a frenzy upon learning that the new song was a diss track aimed at both his former flame and her new beau.
That sounds like jealousy to me. Oh, and Willy Wonka got some free promo from Travis Scott. But knowing the Kardashians, this was all planned.
