Rihanna is my muse: Travis Scott

Los Angeles: Rapper Travis Scott has credited Rihanna for inspiring his new music after branding his rumoured girlfriend his "muse".

The stars have been linked since September when they were spotted partying together on a string of dates in New York City, but they have yet to comment on the romance claims, reported MTV.

In an interview, the rapper described Rihanna in three words, "creative", "inspiring", and "muse".

He did not elaborate on his comments.

Travis will be spending an increasing amount of time with Rihanna in the coming months as the pair has teamed up for a new world tour.

The "Umbrella" superstar will kick off her Anti World Tour in February, ahead of the release of her new album, Anti.

Travis will join her for the North American leg of the trek, while she has recruited The Weeknd and Big Sean for the European leg of the tour.
