Jacques Bermon Webster II (born April 30, 1991), better known as Travis Scott (formerly stylized as Travi$ Scott), is an American rapper and record producer.[1] He has been signed to GOOD Music and developed a history in collaborating with Ye. He has production credits on Yeezus[2] and was featured on "Praise God."
Other connections to Ye include his stage name being partially named after Scott Mescudi, otherwise known as Kid Cudi, a frequent collaborator with Ye himself. Travis was also involved in the recording process of "FML," even having a leaked version with his vocals (the released version does not feature him but instead credits him for writing it.) The song is also part of The Life of Pablo, an album that is associated with a notepad that has various artists' signatures; Travis is one of them (signed as "Travi$.")[3]
History[]
On November 5, 2021, eight people died (with an additional two casualties days later) and hundreds were injured during a crowd crush at his Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas.[4] Later that weekend, Ye dedicated a Sunday Service set in remembrance to those affected by the tragedy.[5] With this incident staining Travis' reputation, it was revealed in January 2022 that Ye replaced him as a headliner for Coachella 2022.[6] He has since recovered his reputation, including by releasing his newest album Utopia in July 2023 to critical success.
In January 2022, amidst Ye's struggles to access Chicago's fourth birthday party (seemingly being blocked by Kim Kardashian and her family), Travis has been credited for helping the rapper get through to his child.[7]
