Travis Scott is either worried about losing his new album – rumoured to be called Utopia – or is teasing its ‘imminent’ arrival.

Whatever his motive, it appears the 32-year-old rapper has handcuffed a suitcase labelled ‘Utopia’ onto his bodyguard’s wrist.

Yep, you heard that right.

Utopia is rumoured to be the Sicko Mode hitmaker’s first album in four years.

It’s a hotly-anticipated release as the American rapper paused his music career after a devastating crowd crush at his event, Astroworld Festival, left 10 people dead in November 2021.

Many more were left injured in the crush, with hundreds of lawsuits filed against the dad-of-two, as well as Live Nation and other event contributors.

But it appears Travis – real name Jacques Bermon Webster II – could be back with new music very soon.

According to TMZ, a source said the release of Utopia is ‘imminent’, leaving fans spinning at the news, as the insider went on to reveal we can expect it ‘sometime in the summer’.

And in spectacular fashion, the Trance hitmaker has teased fans using a suitcase, the word Utopia, and, er, his bodyguard.

We would have loved to hear the conversation when Travis asked his muscular employee to take one for the team and adopt a new, rather clunky, accessory.

The snaps of the weird scene show the rapper walking from his car, with his bodyguard close behind clutching the suitcase.

Aside from his music career, the rapper is well-known as the ex of 25-year-old mogul Kylie Jenner, and he is father to her two children, five-year-old Stormi, and one-year-old Aire.

Originally called Wolf, Kylie and Travis decided to change his name recently after the famous Kardashian explained it ‘didn’t suit him’.

Meanwhile, Travis is set to headline London’s epic Wireless Festival in the summer alongside 50 Cent.

This comes after Travis allegedly attacked a man at a nightclub in New York – causing $12,000 worth of damage – back in March.
