AceShowbiz - Michael B. Jordan secured a major victory at the 2026 Oscars, winning the Best Actor award for his dual role as twins Smoke and Stack in the film Sinners. His powerful performance earned widespread acclaim, marking his first Academy Award win.
Following the ceremony, rapper Travis Scott took to Instagram to celebrate Michael B. Jordan’s achievement. Scott shared a photo of the actor accepting his award, candidly rubbing his eyes on stage. He also posted an image of Sinners director Ryan Coogler holding an Oscar, further highlighting the film’s success.
This public acknowledgment by Scott sparked considerable online discussion about his relationship with Michael B. Jordan and speculation involving Timothée Chalamet, who was also nominated in the same category. Chalamet, dating Kylie Jenner—Scott’s ex—was nominated for his role in Marty Supreme but ultimately lost to Michael B. Jordan.
Despite the outcome, Timothée Chalamet appeared genuinely happy for Michael B. Jordan during the ceremony, showing sportsmanship and grace. However, some fans speculated that Scott’s post was a subtle jab at Chalamet, pointing to the complex dynamics between Scott, Jenner, and Chalamet. Online communities, including Reddit, playfully referenced the so-called "Kardashian-Jenner curse," suggesting that Timothée Chalamet might be its latest target.
Others recalled previous award seasons, noting speculation that Scott may have preferred Adrien Brody over Timothée Chalamet in 2025. Nevertheless, Scott has not publicly commented on his feelings toward Timothée Chalamet, leaving interpretations of his Instagram post open to fan conjecture.
Importantly, Scott appears to have a great co-parenting relationship with Jenner, which suggests his Instagram tribute was more about celebrating Michael B. Jordan’s milestone. The focus remains on Michael B. Jordan’s impressive Oscar win and the buzz it generated among fans and celebrities alike.
