Jacques Bermon Webster II (born April 30, 1991), known professionally as Travis Scott (formerly stylized as Travi$ Scott), is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Scott has had five number-one hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, along with a total of over one hundred charting songs. In addition to ten Grammy Award nominations, he has won a Latin Grammy Award, Billboard Music Award, MTV Video Music Award, and several BET Hip Hop Awards.[9] Scott's musical style has been described as a "blend between traditional hip-hop and lo-fi" and often characterized as "ambient," drawing notable influence from rappers Kanye West and Kid Cudi. His stage name is derived from the latter's real name, Scott Mescudi, combined with the name of a favorite uncle.

Key Information

In 2012, Scott signed his first major-label recording contract with Epic Records, as well as a publishing deal with Kanye West's GOOD Music as an in-house producer. In April 2013, he entered a joint-venture record deal with Georgia-based rapper T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records. Scott self-released his first full-length project, a mixtape titled Owl Pharaoh in 2013, which was followed by his debut mixtape, Days Before Rodeo (2014). His debut studio album, Rodeo (2015), was met with critical and commercial success; it spawned the singles "3500" (featuring Future and 2 Chainz) and "Antidote", the latter peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. His second album, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight (2016), became his first number-one album on the Billboard 200 chart. In the following year, Scott formed the duo Huncho Jack with rapper Quavo, with whom he released an eponymous collaborative album (2017).

Scott's third studio album, Astroworld (2018), was released to widespread critical acclaim and became his second consecutive number-one album on the Billboard 200. It yielded his first Billboard Hot 100 number-one single, "Sicko Mode" (featuring Drake).[10] In late 2019, Scott's vanity label imprint, Cactus Jack Records, released the compilation album JackBoys, which also topped the Billboard 200. With his 2019 single "Highest in the Room" and his 2020 singles "The Scotts" (with Kid Cudi) and "Franchise" (featuring Young Thug and M.I.A.), Scott became the first artist on the Billboard Hot 100 to have three songs debut at number one in less than a year.[11] Following a series of controversies and five years after the release of his previous solo album, Scott released Utopia (2023), which became his fourth consecutive number-one album on the Billboard 200 and spawned the Billboard Hot 100 top-ten singles "Meltdown" (featuring Drake), "Fein" (featuring Playboi Carti), and "K-pop" (with Bad Bunny and The Weeknd). In 2025, he released the single "4x4", which peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100. His second collaboration with JackBoys, JackBoys 2, charted atop the Billboard 200, making it Scott's sixth consecutive number-one album overall on the chart.

Along with his highly publicized relationship with American media personality Kylie Jenner, Scott has collaborated with organizations including Nike, Dior, and McDonald's. His Cactus Jack record label, founded in 2017, has signed artists including Don Toliver and Sheck Wes. Scott has gained notoriety for controversies and legal issues regarding concert safety. In November 2021, a mass-casualty crowd crush occurred during Scott's hometown performance at his annual Astroworld Festival, causing ten deaths and hundreds of injuries.[12][13][14]

Early life

[edit]

Jacques Bermon Webster II[15] was born on April 30, 1991, in Houston, Texas, the son of Wanda, who worked for AT&T, and Jacques Webster Sr., an entrepreneur and musician.[16] From ages one through six, Webster lived with his grandmother in South Park, Houston. The neighborhood was notorious for crime and had an impact on a young Webster, "Growing up, my grandmother stayed in the 'hood so I seen random crazy shit. [I saw] mad bums and crazy spazzed out motherfuckers, I saw people looking weird, hungry, and grimey [sic]. I was always like, 'I gotta get the fuck out this shit.' It gave me my edge—[it made me] who I am right now."[17]

Webster moved to Missouri City, a middle-class suburban area bordering southwest Houston, to live with his parents. His mother worked for Apple and his father ran his own business.[18] Webster's father is also a soul musician and his grandfather was a jazz composer.[19] Webster attended Elkins High School and graduated at seventeen.[20] During high school, he participated in musical theater.[21] Webster then attended the University of Texas at San Antonio, before dropping out his second year to fully pursue his music career.[22][23]

During an interview, Webster revealed he chose his moniker as a combination of his favorite uncle, Travis, and the first name of one of his biggest inspirations, Kid Cudi (whose real name is Scott Mescudi).[24]

Career

2008–2012: Career beginnings and record deals

[edit]

Webster formed a duo with his longtime friend Chris Holloway known as The Graduates. In 2008, the duo released their untitled first EP on social networking website Myspace.

The following year, Scott and OG Chess, one of Scott's schoolmates, formed the group The Classmates. The Classmates released two projects, with Buddy Rich in 2009 and Cruis'n USA in 2010.[25] Scott mainly handled production work on both projects. The duo remained together until late 2012, when personal conflicts and financial disputes led to the disbandment of the group.[26]

After leaving college, Scott moved from Houston to Washington Heights in New York City where Scott began working with friend Mike Waxx, who owned the music website Illroots. After moving to New York, Scott slept on the floor at his friend's house and spent most of his time at Just Blaze's studio. Eventually frustrated in New York and the lack of progression,[27] Scott moved to Los Angeles, California, after only four months in the state.

In Los Angeles, Webster was abandoned by his friend who had promised to help him by providing housing. His parents cut him off financially and he eventually was forced to relocate back to Houston, where his parents kicked him out of their home. Webster moved back to Los Angeles once again and began to sleep on the couch of a friend who studied at University of Southern California.[28] Atlanta-based rapper and owner of Grand Hustle Records, T.I. would later hear one of Webster's productions, titled "Lights (Love Sick)". While in Los Angeles, T.I.'s representative contacted Webster, asking him to attend a studio for a meeting. During the meeting, T.I. freestyled over "Animal", one of Webster's productions.[29]

The live stream also showcased snippets of songs from his upcoming fourth studio album Utopia featuring a song with Westside Gunn and instrumentals from the album.[140] In later 2022, Scott and Skepta, a British grime MC, rapper, and record producer, headlined an event hosted by Virgil Abloh Securities. The one-day music festival was held at the FPL Solar Amphitheater in Miami, Florida, U.S. The event took place to honor the late Virgil Abloh's legacy called Mirror Mirror.[141] Since then, Scott has partnered both creatively and as the face of several clothing lines for luxury fashion houses like Helmut Lang and Saint Laurent.[citation needed]

McDonald's

[edit]

In September 2020, Scott collaborated with McDonald's to launch a limited edition meal that was introduced in participating McDonald's restaurants in North America, named "The Travis Scott" and a variation on their Quarter Pounder with Cheese.[148][149] The partnership marked the first nationally distributed celebrity-endorsed McDonald's meal in the chain's history, and the first celebrity meal since 1992, when McDonald's launched a "McJordan" burger with Michael Jordan in the Chicago metropolitan area.[150] Due to high demand, some McDonald's branches ran out of ingredients tied to the promotion, causing a break in the supply chain.[151] Scott and McDonald's also launched a line of McDonald's and Cactus Jack–branded merchandise, including a number of clothing items, a rug, and a McNugget-shaped body pillow.[148][149] This popularized the celebrity meal craze, which would later be done similarly by BTS and Saweetie.[152][153] The idea was exported to Europe in the fall of 2021, with Spanish singer Aitana serving as the first European act to have its own McDonald's meal.[154]

PlayStation

[edit]

In October 2020, Scott announced he was joining the PlayStation team as a Strategic Creative Partner to promote the PlayStation 5 console.[155] Together, they released special merchandise, which includes a previously unseen version of Nike Dunk Lows. They also uploaded a special unboxing video of the PlayStation 5 console to YouTube.[156] The video features footage of Scott playing the console alongside fans, a piano performance by James Blake, and a tribute to Pop Smoke.

The Scotts

[edit]

Aside from his solo musical career, Scott is also one-half of the alternative hip-hop super-duo the Scotts, alongside his mentor and frequent collaborator, American musician Kid Cudi. They have currently been working on their debut collaborative effort since 2020, when the duo released the Billboard Hot 100 number one single, "The Scotts".[157] In December 2022, Cudi revealed they were no longer working on the album, effectively announcing its cancellation.[158] However in July 2023, Cudi stated the album "is [definitely] happening at some point."[159][160]

Film industry

[edit]

Scott made his theatrical debut in the 2021 film Gully as a movie store owner.[161] He also contributed to the film's soundtrack but his song "Knife" was cut due to sampling issues, but was still featured briefly in the film. On August 2, 2021, Scott signed a movie production deal with A24. The same day he announced the completion of a draft for a film based on his then-upcoming fourth studio album Utopia, which would later be revealed to be Circus Maximus.[162]

Professional wrestling

[edit]

Scott started making appearances for American professional wrestling promotion WWE in 2025. He would make his professional wrestling debut on January 6, 2025, where Scott appeared in-person at WWE Raw's premiere on Netflix, in which his song's title, "4x4", was revealed and was confirmed to serve as the program's opening theme. He would escort professional wrestler Jey Uso to the ring before his match.[163] Scott would appear at the Elimination Chamber: Toronto event on March 1, 2025, where he accompanied Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to the ring ahead of Rock's segment with then-Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. When John Cena betrayed Rhodes during the segment, Scott assisted Rock and Cena in attacking Rhodes, establishing himself as a villain.[164] It was reported that Scott injured Cody when he attacked him by throwing an improper punch to the side of Cody's face, causing a "busted eardrum and a black eye".[165] Scott would appear at WrestleMania 41 Night 2 on April 20, 2025, where he walked out to his song "Fein" (one of the official theme songs of the event), and interfered in the main event between Rhodes and Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship. He would be taken out with a Cross Rhodes by Cody,[166] but would ultimately help Cena win his record 17th world championship in WWE.[167] It was reported that Scott would make his in-ring debut in a tag team match teaming up with Cena against Rhodes and another celebrity, however those plans were scrapped as it was reported that Scott and WWE had a "falling out". This would also lead to his removal as a surprise celebrity DLC character for the video game WWE 2K25. It was also reported that the reason WWE had featured Travis Scott so heavily is that the chief executive officer (CEO) of WWE's parent company TKO Ari Emanuel has promised Scott the spot as a "favor" and that WWE saw Scott as "lazy" and was "difficult to work with".[168][169][170]

Musical style

[edit]

Scott makes heavy use of audio manipulation effects such as Auto-Tune, phasing, delays, and stereo-sculpted chorusing and harmony structures,[175] predominantly influenced by producers Mike Dean and Alex Tumay.[176] Scott's musical style has been characterized as "ambient";[175][177] Scott himself has said "I'm not hip-hop".[174] Vulture described Scott's sound as "unremittingly dark, syncretic, hi-res, and above all unnatural".[178] Scott's musical style has been described as being hip-hop,[179] "psychedelic" trap,[1][179] and pop rap.[1] Spin magazine compared his debut mixtape Owl Pharaoh (2013) to fellow American rapper Kid Cudi's Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager (2010).[180]

Creative vision

In 2021, Scott starred in a cover story of i-D Magazine Issue 362 "Utopia in Dystopia" photographed by Spike Jonze. Scott graced two covers for the issue, including a limited-edition cover featuring original artwork by Jonze. Scott teamed up with i-D Magazine for a limited edition merch capsule release. Scott added his original signature artwork to the special edition issue of the magazine. His classic scrawled artwork also makes an appearance on the Travis Scott X i-D collaborative merch.[citation needed]

[edit]

Incidents at performances

[edit]

Scott's performances have experienced a number of issues. At Lollapalooza in 2015, Scott was charged and arrested for disorderly conduct after inciting concertgoers to ignore security and rush the stage.[201] For this, he would later plead guilty to reckless conduct and receive one year of supervised release.[202] That same year, at the Openair Festival in Switzerland, he encouraged fans to attack a man who took his shoe while he was crowd-surfing, by stopping the concert and repeatedly telling the crowd to "fuck him up", while also spitting on him.[203]

In 2017, he was arrested for similar conduct to his Lollapalooza behavior after a performance at the Walmart Arkansas Music Pavilion[204] in Northwest Arkansas.[205] That same year, a fan sued Scott and the organizers of a 2017 concert at Terminal 5 in Manhattan after falling from a balcony and being dragged on stage, blaming the fall on a crowd surge.[206] In 2019, three people were trampled and injured as a crowd rushed to enter the compound at Astroworld.[207][208]

Astroworld Festival crowd crush

[edit]
Main article: Astroworld Festival crowd crush

On November 5, 2021, at least ten people died and hundreds were injured in a crowd crush moving toward the stage during Scott's performance at the Astroworld Festival in NRG Park in his hometown of Houston, Texas.[14] On the first night, a crowd crush occurred, resulting in the cancellation of the second night of the festival.[13][209][12] In video footage of the incident, Scott is seen continuing to perform despite chants from the crowd pleading for him to stop; observing at least one audience member had been hurt, then ordering security for a brief moment to "help, jump in real quick, keep going", only to continue with the rest of the show for the following hour; encouraging people to "get wild" and "crazy", despite an ambulance passing through the crowd that was pulling out lifeless bodies.[210][211] Victims killed ranged from 9 to 27 years old.[212]

Shortly after, a lawsuit was announced by the concertgoers. It was started by Kristian Paredes, who filed for $1,000,000 due to the injuries he received. On June 29, 2023, a Texas grand jury declined to indict Scott in a criminal probe of the crowd surge.[213][214]

Nebula assault allegations

[edit]

On March 1, 2023, Scott was performing at Nebula, a nightclub in New York City, alongside Don Toliver when a sound technician, identified only as Mark, asked Scott to lower the music as it was too loud for the venue's size. Scott reportedly responded by giving Mark the middle finger and punching him in the head, resulting in Mark needing medical attention and police being called to the scene around 3:25 a.m. Scott had reportedly been drinking alcohol and damaged $12,000 in the club's sound equipment before he left the premises. The New York City Police Department (NYPD) issued a warrant for Scott's arrest in relation to the incident on March 2, 2023.[215][216] The matter was resolved with a settlement reached and the NYPD not pressing any charges.[217][218]

Scott's mugshot on June 20, 2024, in Miami

Miami Beach arrest

[edit]

In the early hours of June 20, 2024, Scott was arrested in Miami Beach on charges of disorderly intoxication and trespassing property after warning.[219] He was released over six hours later after posting a $650 bond.[220] The same day, Scott would capitalize on this incident by unleashing merchandise containing his mugshot which was taken following the arrest.[221] In August, prosecutors dropped Scott's disorderly intoxication charge whilst continuing to press charges for trespassing after warning.[222]

Paris arrest

[edit]

In the early hours of August 9, 2024, Scott was arrested in Paris after allegedly getting into a fight with his bodyguard. A security guard at the luxury George V hotel where Scott was staying at intervened, which prompted Scott to attack the security guard as well.[223][224] Scott was released without charges the following day.[225]

Travis Scott

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia

Jacques Bermon Webster II (born April 30, 1991), known professionally as Travis Scott, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer recognized for pioneering a psychedelic trap subgenre characterized by atmospheric production and auto-tuned vocals. Raised in a suburb, Scott began producing music as a teenager and gained initial traction through mixtapes and production credits for artists like in the early 2010s. Scott's breakthrough came with his 2015 debut album , followed by commercial successes including Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight (2016) and Astroworld (2018), the latter certified multi-platinum with over 16 million equivalent units sold worldwide. His discography has amassed more than 70 million equivalent album sales, bolstered by hit singles such as "" featuring , which has exceeded 3 billion streams. Scott has received ten Grammy Award nominations, a Latin Grammy, and multiple , while his tours, including the record-breaking in 2024-2025, rank among the highest-grossing for a solo rapper. Beyond music, Scott has built a business empire through , apparel lines, and high-profile collaborations with Nike on sneakers and on meal promotions, contributing to an estimated net worth of $80 million as of 2025. His signature high-energy, mosh-pit-encouraging performances have drawn praise for innovation but also scrutiny for safety issues, culminating in the 2021 in that killed ten attendees and injured hundreds amid overcrowding and compression against barriers. Multiple lawsuits alleged by Scott and organizers Live Nation, though criminal charges against him were declined. Recent legal troubles include a 2024 arrest in for an altercation with a at a , from which he was released without charges.

Early Life

Family Background and Childhood

Jacques Bermon Webster II, professionally known as Travis Scott, was born on April 30, 1991, in , , to parents Wanda Webster and Jacques Webster Sr.. Wanda worked in corporate roles, including at , while Jacques Sr. owned a music equipment rental business and pursued musical interests himself.. The family included Webster's two younger brothers, and Joshua, and maintained ties to extended relatives involved in music, such as his grandfather, a jazz composer.. From ages one to six, Webster primarily resided with his paternal grandmother, Sealie, in Houston's South Park neighborhood, a low-income area marked by elevated crime rates that later informed elements of his artistic themes.. At around age six, following family relocation enabled by his father's business, he moved to the middle-class suburb of Missouri City, south of Houston, where his parents raised the children in a stable household.. This shift from urban hardship to suburban normalcy exposed Webster to contrasting environments, with the former fostering early resilience amid local dangers like gang activity.. Webster's childhood interests leaned toward music production, influenced by his father's sound engineering background and access to equipment, though he did not formally study instruments until later.. Family dynamics emphasized self-reliance, as Webster has described periodic stays with his grandmother shaping his independence, while parental support provided resources for creative pursuits without early professional pressure..

Education and Initial Musical Pursuits

Webster attended Elkins High School in , graduating in 2008 at the age of 17 after completing the program a year early. During this period, he participated in musical theater and began skipping classes to experiment with music production, fostering an early interest in hip-hop beats and recording. He formed a hip-hop group called The Classmates with high school friends Chris Holloway and OG Chess, marking his initial foray into collaborative music efforts. Following high school, Webster enrolled at the University of Texas at San Antonio but dropped out during his sophomore year around 2009–2010 to prioritize music full-time. His parents had conditioned financial support for a home studio on his continued enrollment in college, but withdrew aid upon learning of the dropout, compelling him to relocate initially to New York City for greater exposure in the music scene. At age 16, while still in high school, Webster had already begun producing hip-hop tracks, entering his first songwriting contest and uploading early work to platforms like MySpace to build a rudimentary online presence. These pursuits reflected a self-directed shift from formal education toward hands-on audio engineering and beat-making, driven by dissatisfaction with academic structure.

Musical Career

Career Beginnings and Early Deals (2008–2012)

In 2008, at age 16, Jacques Webster—later known as Travis Scott—formed the hip hop duo The Graduates with childhood friend Chris Holloway while attending Elkins High School in . The pair self-released an untitled EP exclusively via , consisting of eight tracks such as "No Introductions," "," and "Dream," which showcased early experimentation with production and rapping influenced by artists like and . After graduating high school in 2009, Scott enrolled in in but dropped out during his second year, using funds intended for tuition and supplies to finance a move to in pursuit of a music career. There, he immersed himself in the industry by producing beats, uploading demos online, and cold-calling labels for unpaid internships to gain experience in recording and A&R processes. His persistence led to initial production credits and connections, including work on early tracks that caught the attention of established figures in hip hop. By 2012, Scott's networking efforts culminated in key deals that formalized his entry into major label structures. He signed his first major-label with , securing resources for recording and distribution. In November of that year, he inked a agreement with Kanye West's as part of its production wing, Very GOOD Beats, positioning him as an in-house producer amid West's orbit. These agreements, negotiated amid Scott's relocation between New York and , provided creative autonomy while leveraging GOOD Music's infrastructure, though they emphasized production over immediate artist releases.

Mixtape Era and Independent Releases (2012–2014)

Following his signing to Epic Records and association with Grand Hustle Records in 2012, Travis Scott chose to release free mixtapes rather than immediately pursuing a commercial debut album, aiming to cultivate a dedicated fanbase through independent-style projects. This approach allowed him to experiment with production and showcase his emerging psychedelic trap aesthetic, characterized by heavy auto-tune vocals, atmospheric synths, and high-energy beats. Scott's debut mixtape, , was released for free on May 21, 2013, via under Grand Hustle and Epic. The 14-track project, largely self-produced by Scott, featured guest appearances including A$AP Ferg on "Uptown" and showcased tracks like "Upper Echelon," which highlighted his chaotic, genre-blending style blending hip-hop with electronic and rock influences. Critics noted its ambitious but uneven execution, with Stereogum describing it as a "messy splurge of ideas, both good and bad," praising its innovative energy while critiquing inconsistencies. Building on this foundation, Scott prepared his second mixtape, Days Before Rodeo, which served as a precursor to his anticipated debut album Rodeo. The lead single, "Don't Play" featuring Big Sean and The 1975, was released on May 6, 2014, emphasizing Scott's ability to fuse rap with indie rock elements. The full 12-track mixtape dropped for free on August 18, 2014, via SoundCloud and Grand Hustle, with production primarily by Scott alongside contributors like Mike Dean.

Musical Style and Production Techniques

Travis Scott's musical style fuses trap hip-hop with psychedelic and ambient elements, characterized by atmospheric instrumentals, heavy basslines, and multi-layered synths that create immersive, disorienting sonic environments.

He collaborates closely with producer Mike Dean, who integrates principles like chords for suspenseful tension and resolution, shifting to relative majors for fleeting uplift, while incorporating Houston-specific samples such as Big Hawk's flows to ground the psychedelic abstraction in regional trap roots. This method contrasts traditional hip-hop production's linear songwriting and by favoring experimental, tech-driven iteration—refining beats over months with added elements like harmonica solos or flourishes—resulting in a signature "journey" structure per track. Scott's sound has evolved from the raw, sample-heavy of Days Before Rodeo (2014 mixtape) and , which pioneered broader trap subgenre expansion through layered melodies, to the polished, theory-infused expanses of Astroworld and (released July 28, 2023), where production amplifies stadium-scale immersion with saturation and reverb tails. Self-production credits on tracks like "Stargazing" from Astroworld highlight his hands-on role in EQ boosts for high-end presence (10-20 kHz) and sidechained , techniques that replicate live chaos in studio recordings. This progression reflects a causal emphasis on sonic innovation driving listener engagement, with empirical streaming data underscoring the style's commercial viability—Astroworld amassed over 5 million equivalent album units in its first year—while avoiding over-reliance on formulaic beats.

His music delves into , drug-induced altered realities, and the paradoxes of fame, portraying lavish lifestyles alongside and isolation. These themes reflect a pursuit of utopian ideals amid dystopian realities, where personal struggles with relationships and identity underscore tracks blending trap beats with experimental production.

Scott's 2023 album Utopia extends this vision by positing that "utopia is wherever you are," illustrating attainable escapist havens through tracks addressing rebellion, apathy, and fame's elusive highs. Producers and collaborators highlight its conceptual depth, flipping familiar samples into eerie, meditative explorations of mortality and desire, maintaining continuity with prior works via earthy, shadowy palettes evoking transience.
