Engineer at the studio just hit me up like this may be the end of Travis Scott the rapper. He may have to go away and rebrand himself as Travis Scott the producer
In all seriousness, Travis Scott whole brand is being all "mysterious" in photos and the public eye, while being a raging psychedelic outlaw who create connections with misunderstood loyal fans who are looking for escape routes to "Rage". His concerts and festivals are honestly like 70 percent of his brand, and it's where he lets loose.
His whole rockstar persona takes a massive hit if their are major restrictions on any future concerts he gets the luxury doing again because the whole wave of being a Travis Scott fan or attending his events is to go crazy and be a rebellious Hypebeast. Travis encouraged this behavior because he knew it would work since old white rock bands been doing it for ages, on top of that alot of young impressionable teens emotionally stalled out due to deep disconnections of social opportunities due to social media being the major platform for them to connect.
All of this shit was recipe for disaster, and sadly was bound to happen. From Travis years of encouraging fights, ignoring security, rewarding fans for putting their bodies in extreme harm to impress their "idol". Anyone speaking about the lack of empathy from folks there, to the energy, etc Travis Scott brand created a perfect opportunity for youngings to let loose, rage, and feel alive for this "one moment" in their young lives where they may feel alive, regardless of the next person around them potentially well being.
Tbh, I don't know how he comes back from this from artistic standpoint, because his whole brand has been exposed for what it so appealing. Without his rage concerts, Travis Scott is just another auto tune club artist.
