Travis Scott & Victory Boyd — Gospel “TELEKINESIS”

Share

New Travis Scott, Victory Boyd studio footage is circulating online, showing the pair working together on a gospel version of “TELEKINESIS” — only days after Boyd dropped her copyright lawsuit over the track. The clip lands as a sharp turn in a dispute that ran for more than a year.

What the Travis Scott, Victory Boyd footage shows

The footage shows Boyd and Scott in a recording studio alongside at least one other person, reportedly working on a reimagined, gospel-leaning take on the song. Online, fans have tied the title back to “Future Bounce,” one of the early working names the track carried during its long path to release.

No label, release date, or official statement has accompanied the clip so far. For now, the gospel version exists as studio footage rather than a confirmed, scheduled release.

The lawsuit Boyd just dropped

On June 4, Boyd voluntarily dismissed her copyright case against Travis Scott, SZA, and Future, ending the litigation with prejudice — meaning it cannot be refiled. The dismissal came even after she had cleared an earlier hurdle in federal court.

Her legal team framed the decision as a personal and spiritual one. “After some internal reflection, Victory decided to forgive Travis Scott and move past a legal process that felt like it was draining her creatively and spiritually,” her lawyer Keith White said, adding that she is “moving forward to focus on her art, her ministry and her life.”

The studio reunion arriving so soon after that decision is what has pushed the Travis Scott, Victory Boyd story back into the news cycle.

How “TELEKINESIS” became a years-long dispute

“TELEKINESIS,” featuring SZA and Future, appeared on Scott’s 2023 album UTOPIA and peaked at No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100. But its roots trace back to 2019.

Boyd originally wrote and recorded a demo, “Like the Way It Sounds,” during sessions tied to Ye’s gospel projects, including Jesus Is King and later Donda. Ye provided chords and melodies; Boyd contributed lyrics and vocals. The song cycled through working titles — “Future Bounce,” “Future Sounds,” and “Ultrasounds” — before Ye passed it to Scott, who reworked it into the version fans know today.

Boyd sued in January 2025, arguing the song was adapted without her permission. Scott, SZA, and Future countered that Ye had granted them permission to use the demo, and noted Boyd had received songwriting credit and publishing on the final track. You can read the official credits on the Billboard Hot 100 and the song’s Wikipedia entry for the full writing breakdown.

Is Ye involved in the gospel “TELEKINESIS”?

This is the big question fans are asking. Some listeners say they can hear a laugh in the clip that sounds like Ye, and a third person is visible in the room.

It’s worth being clear: nothing has been confirmed. A laugh on a video is not the same as a credited contribution, and no official source has said Ye is producing, featuring on, or otherwise attached to the gospel version. Given that the song originated inside his gospel sessions, his name naturally comes up — but for now, his involvement is fan speculation, not a confirmed fact.

What’s next

With the lawsuit closed and the two now apparently collaborating, the obvious watch is whether the gospel “TELEKINESIS” gets a formal release — and whether Boyd, Scott, or anyone in their camps confirms who else is in the room. Until an official announcement drops, treat the studio footage as a work in progress rather than a release date.
