HOAX: Youtuber created that pic of Travis Scott cheating on Kylie
This week, Travis Scott was forced to take to social media to deny reports that he cheated on Kylie Jenner, after a photo of what appeared to be him kissing another woman went viral.
Last night, a YouTuber released a video claiming responsibility for the creation of the images.
The YouTuber, who goes by the name Christian Adam G, admitted to staging the photo, dressing and posing as the rapper and even cutting and styling his hair to mimic Scott's trademark blonde-tipped dread style.
The video was inspired by a recurring trend of Youtubers creating false images of celebrities doing weird things ( see: Justin Bieber eating a burrito sideways) in an attempt to have them picked up by traditional media.
The Bahama-based YouTuber said that he is often mistaken for the rapper, and decided to see if he could go viral with the prank, in a video titled We Fooled the Internet w/ Fake Travis Scott Cheating Photo.
In the description of the video, he wrote: 'DISCLAIMER: this video was NOT made to intentionally hurt Travis Scott, Kylie Jenner or the entire Kardashian family in ANY way shape or form.'
However, Kylie's big sisters Kim and Khloe have taken to Twitter to express their disgust at the 'prank.'
I hate that I am bringing attention to this but this is absolutely disgusting that you would find this funny to mess with Travis & Kylie who just started a family together. This is really damaging to relationships, families and is just so wrong! pic.twitter.com/KtodBpmiHR

Kim accused Christian of intentionally trying to hurt the family, tweeting:
'I hate that I am bringing attention to this but this is absolutely disgusting that you would find this funny to mess with Travis & Kylie who just started a family together.'
'This is really damaging to relationships, families and is just so wrong.'
People are absolutely disgusting! The mind games this would do to somebody… That is so completely not OK! This person should be so ashamed of themselves! What filth

Khloe, who only this year went through the shock of a salacious cheating scandal with her former partner Tristan Thompson, tweeted:
'People are absolutely disgusting! The mind games this would do to somebody… That is so completely not OK!'
'This person should be so ashamed of themselves! What filth.'
