In case you missed it, the absolutely packed Astroworld concert fronted by Mr Astroworld himself, Travis Scott, went down in Houston, Nov 10.
During the headlining show for the concert that included acts from legends such as Marilyn Manson and rising ingenue Rosalia, Kanye West stopped by to absolutely shake the crowd. Surprising Travis Scott during his own hometown festival is one thing, but playing through one of the more popular tracks off his latest album Jesus Is King, was something we never expected.
West joined Travis Scott on stage, and he stayed there to support him through ‘Follow God,’ which had the crowd chanting back bars with reckless abandon. After they completed the track, the DJ dropped the immediately recognizable intro for West’s ‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing,’ and the whole festival turned into one giant rap-along as West basked in the glow of the Graduation cut.
Before disappearing back into the mists, West and Scott had a long embrace, smiles beaming as they exchanged words we mere mortals can only dream of. Then, he left and Scott completed the rest of his performance Kanye-less.
Before leaving the stage, West held Scott in a long embrace, beaming as the two exchanged words before he walked off and left Scott to finish the rest of his performance.
