Travis Scott featured Kanye West, better known as Ye, in an exciting teaser for his collaboration with Nike on the Cactus Jack T-REXX Jordans. A red pair of the shoes are available exclusively on Scott's website.

West, meanwhile, does not have any active social media accounts at the moment. Before suspending his accounts, West posted about an upcoming adult film project of his: YZY Porn. He is still selling clothes and vinyls on his YEEZY website.

Fans are also waiting on West and Ty Dolla $ign to release the second installment in his VULTURE$ trilogy.

Scott captioned his post, "YE AND THE JACK."

The video, directed by Gabriel Moses, opens with a tight shot on West's face. The screen flashes for a moment, showing Scott's "Cactus Jack" logo in red. The title is one of the rapper's monikers as well as the name of his record label and clothing store.

The clip continues with several close shots of West, zooming in on his tattoos and face. West stares blankly, blinking occasionally as the clip draws to a silent close.

"40 nights all alone," coos a soft voice over the video. Ambient music radiates underneath, blasting a solid synth and only a tinge of drums.

Fans of West reacted with confusion, with some thinking that the video indicated a musical collaboration between "YE AND THE JACK" was on the way.

Members of the r/Kanye subreddit flooded the forum to give their opinions on the exciting teaser trailer.

"Plz let it be a joint album," reads the top comment on a page sharing the video.

"Y'all...we ain't even got Vultures 2 lol what are yall doing falling for this?" joked another Ye fan.

VULTURE$ 2 was set to release in March, then it was supposed to release on May 3. Now, it's May 10 and there is no VULTURE$ 2 in sight. West has become notorious for his delayed, sloppy album rollouts.

Some users were quick to correct their peers, writing that the video isn't a teaser, but rather a promotional video. One Redditor wrote "It's a promo for travs new jordans."

The video is, indeed, a promotional clip rather than a hint that a new song is in the works.

Scott is the first non-athlete to have a signature sneaker with the well-known Jordan brand. The T-Rexx line also features other garments like shorts, gloves and t-shirts.

While no tracks are in the works, Scott and West have collaborated on multiple songs in the past. They also share a not-so-common trait: Scott and West have both dated and separated from members of the Kardashian-Jenner family. Scott dated Kylie Jenner for years, and West was married to Kim Kardashian before divorcing in 2022. Scott and Jenner share two children, West and Kardashian have four.

While fans wait for VULTURE$ 2, West has thrown them a bone in the form of appearing in Scott's teaser trailer.
