Ibadat Kaur is an entertainment writer at Netflix Junkie. Her love for Narcos &amp; Pedro Pascal is what brought her to the world of entertainment news. She has immense love for historical and investigative documentaries on people and cultural practices. If this was not enough, she was a blogger prior to keeping her step in the glitz and glamor of the entertainment world and covered culture and heritage while traveling across Central and South America. For Ibadat, writing has been her safe space, and she aims to pick up reviewing anthology formats like Black Mirror &amp; Criminal at Netflix Junkie. If you want an expert on comedy (dark and satire) psychology or travel, then Ibadat is your person. While you will mostly find her covering everything and anything from the world of entertainment, about her favorite celebrities, shows, and movies, Ibadat is an avid Schitt's Creek fan and loves the novel George Orwell’s 1984. And if not this, she will be seen actively backpacking for her next trip, petting her dog Raven, or studying the human condition (side-eye).

Prior to achieving his megastar status, Travis Scott was a budding rapper who held <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west/?utm_source=website&amp;utm_medium=internal_links&amp;utm_campaign=hashtags">Kanye West</a> in high esteem. As he went on to become an eminent hip-hop artist, Ye took him under his wing and became his mentor. The duo had shared the stage many times and even collaborated on several tracks. But besides being a chart-topping rapper, Scott is known to dabble in cinematic ventures as well. After making his directorial debut with Circus Maximus, he returned to acting in a movie as eccentric as him. 
Through his latest flick titled Aggro Dr1ft, Scott tried his hands at a movie made in a rather unusual style of filmography. But his idol and the king of experimental art, West, was unavailable to give him his approval.
<h2>Travis Scott left let down by his mentor</h2>
In the hands of director Harmony Korine, Aggro Dr1ft depicts an assassin&#8217;s quest exclusively through the lens of infrared photography. With its unique approach to cinematography, the film premiered at the Venice Film Festival. Although <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/music-news-after-a-brief-cameo-in-ireland-kanye-west-back-in-italy-to-work-on-his-rumored-nearly-completed-album/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kanye West was present in Italy at the time</a>, he refused Korine’s invitation by not attending the premiere. According to West’s close friend, Saint Leon, Korine revealed this fact to him. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Harmony Korine had invited Ye to the premiere of AGGRO DR1FT, but he didn’t show up. <a href="https://t.co/sbrtZxMFV1">pic.twitter.com/sbrtZxMFV1</a>

Besides the movie receiving mostly negative reviews, the ‘Utopia’ singer had to suffer the disappointment of West’s rejection. The Twitter (now X) post that uncovered this information also mentioned that Scott was only present in the movie for a mere 7 minutes. Which makes the fact that West sat it out a little more understandable. Or maybe the movie was just too edgy for the 46-year-old.

But it is equally possible that having just returned from Ireland, Ye was simply tired after the rather eventful journey. 
<h2>What was Kanye West doing in Ireland?</h2>
To attend an annually occurring famed musical event called the Electric Picnic Festival, Kanye West flew to Ireland recently. While at the event, <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/music-news-while-new-album-speculations-soar-kanye-west-fuels-collaboration-rumors-after-a-moment-at-electric-picnic-in-ireland/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he was also spotted hugging R&amp;B singer Steve Lacy</a>. But the highlight of Ye’s presence at the event came in the form of a snippet from his next album, which he played at the festival.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
A FAN ON OUR SUBREDDIT MADE YE’S RECENT SNIPPET CLEARER 🎧 <a href="https://t.co/GNwU9ZKIwV">pic.twitter.com/GNwU9ZKIwV</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Since his cameo at Travis Scott’s Utopia concert, the ‘Donda’ rapper’s fans have been reeling in anticipation for his upcoming album that he keeps hinting at. This must have made it all the more heartbreaking for his protégé when he shunned the chance of supporting Aggro Dr1ft and instead resumed work on his music.
