Travis Scott and 'Fish': Fact-Checking the Videos, the Collaborations, and the Rumors
By Chloe Bennett
The narrative intensified when accounts uploaded blurry video footage under the title "Kick Out (Official Video Leak)." The clip featured an individual resembling Scott, draped in oversized utility wear and earth-toned boots, standing near a misty shoreline with fishing gear. Speculation erupted: was this an elaborate brand promotion for Nike, a teaser for an unannounced EP, or an authentic leisure trip caught on film?
The footage was a montage of disparate media. Investigative fan channels revealed that parts of the video originated from behind-the-scenes promotional material produced for Cactus Jack apparel drops, while other angles featured a professional fly-fisherman spliced with distorted lens effects. Scott's production aesthetic frequently relies on gritty 16mm film stock, lo-fi VHS textures, and desaturated natural environments. Bad-faith uploaders used those visual hallmarks to make ordinary outdoor B-roll look like a secret music video.
No track titled "Kick Out" appears in the ASCAP or BMI publishing databases under Scott's legal name, Jacques Berman Webster II. The viral visual was a textbook internet hoax breakdown, created by stitching unrelated footage to generate fast ad revenue and social engagement.
