Scott, one of hip-hop's biggest stars, has in part built his reputation through his volatile live shows. He has been charged previously with inciting a riot.
“I could never imagine the severity of the situation,” Travis Scott said in his latest statement on the Astroworld Festival, where eight people died.
On two early mixtapes and his 2015 major-label debut “Rodeo,” singles like “Antidote” set a template for how rap would sound in the coming decade — bruising, miserable, sleekly nihilist. The LP’s swarm of guest appearances — Justin Bieber, the Weeknd and Kanye West among them — announced that a new star had arrived.
But it was 2018’s “Astroworld” that turned him into a pop force. It not only again topped the album charts, but placed all 17 tracks into the Hot 100 singles chart. “Sicko Mode,” with Drake, topped the Hot 100 and set a template for TikTok-ready rap with its hard edits between beats and tempos.His arena tour for that album grossed $32 million in three months in 2019, according to Pollstar.
