TRGC claims Travis Scott and SoFaygo copied his 2021 sound on ‘JACKBOYS 2’ for track ‘CONTEST’

A music producer named TRGC has come forward with claims that Travis Scott and SoFaygo used a sound he created back in 2021 for their new song “CONTEST.” This track appears on the album ‘JACKBOYS 2,’ which dropped in July 2025. According to TRGC, the sound used in the song sounds very close to something he made years ago. He shared this publicly on social media, and fans have started talking about it online.

As of now, neither Travis Scott nor SoFaygo has made any public statements about the claim. Their teams have also not responded. The track “CONTEST” has already gained millions of streams since the album's release. Many fans have praised the beat and overall feel of the song.

But now, with this claim by TRGC, some fans are wondering if the beat was truly original or not. While no legal action has been taken yet, the situation is now getting attention online.

What exactly is TRGC claiming about Travis Scott?

TRGC, who is a music producer and beatmaker, posted stories on Instagram claiming that he made this sound years ago, in 2021. He said,

''If yall wanted 2021 Trgc all U had to do is hit him up"

So far, there is no official proof that the sound was directly copied. But people are now comparing the two beats and debating about it online. Many fans are asking Travis Scott and SoFaygo to speak on the situation.

Fans react while artists remain silent

Even though TRGC’s claim is still fresh, it’s already making waves on the internet. People on social media platforms like X, Reddit, and TikTok are talking about the similarities between the two songs.

An user, @realalmightee, commented, "he’s not wrong that beat sounds dated af"

This user commented, "He’s 100% right too. Idk why the industry be so weird to TRGC whole time he a pioneer in ts"

Others defended Travis Scott and SoFaygo, saying that they might not have even known where the beat came from. In many cases, big artists use beats from producers without knowing the full history behind them. It’s common for beats to get shared online, and sometimes sounds get reused by accident. Some even said TRGC was doing it for fame.

The user, @BrrrtWeb3 commented, "timeline collectively hit with the “who bro even” energy. gotta be tough getting roasted and unknown at the same time"

Another user, @JADEDnFADED_, commented, "Another nobody clout chasing"

Some fans are calling this a misunderstanding. Others are asking for more transparency from the artists involved. A few fans even said they hope TRGC gets a chance to work with bigger names in the future because of the attention this situation is bringing him.

Trending

As of now, no one from Travis Scott’s or SoFaygo’s team has said anything about the matter. The producer behind the “CONTEST” beat has also not released a statement. Because of this, things remain unclear.

For now, all we know is that TRGC believes his 2021 beat was used on Travis Scott and SoFaygo’s new song “CONTEST,” and he shared his side of the story online. Whether anything official comes out of it or not, people are now listening and watching to see what happens next.
