Kanye West has been embroiled in several controversies in 2022. The rapper lost credibility after he went on a rampage to spew racial and religious hate. It all started with Paris Fashion Week in 2022, and he became obnoxious when he threatened the Jewish community. The industry ousted him along with his contemporaries like Pusha T, who condemned Ye’s fashion statement. However, Travis Scott, Kanye’s prodigy, has brought the rapper back into the spotlight.
Travis Scott dropped his fourth studio album in July 2023, titled ‘Utopia.’ The fans have received the album very well. With ‘Utopia,’ Travis tried to become vulnerable with a glossy feature list that includes Beyoncé, Future, The Weeknd, and others. He celebrated the Billboard success of ‘Utopia’ during his concert at Rome’s Circus Maximus. But he surprised the fans by bringing Ye on stage.
Travis Scott Says There Is No Utopia Without Kanye West
In July 2023, Travis released the first single from his album titled ‘K-Pop’ with The Weeknd and Bad Bunny. On July 28, 2023, Scott released his most-awaited fourth album, ‘Utopia.’ It created a lot of buzz due to the Playboi Carti feature on ‘Fe! All 19 tracks on ‘Utopia’ occupied the Billboard 100 list, including the Playboi Carti feature at No. 5.
Travis Scott earned his third No. 1 Billboard 200 album with ‘Utopia.’ It sold 496,000 album units in the USA. To celebrate the moment, Scott invited Ye to perform with him at Rome’s Circus Maximus.
He introduced him to the crowd, saying, “There is no Utopia without Kanye West. There is no Travis Scott without Kanye West, and there is no Rome without Kanye West. Make some noise for Ye.” The artists performed ‘Praise God’ from Ye’s last album, ‘Donda,’ and ‘Can’t Say Nothing.’ Along with that, Scott performed ‘K-pop,’ Delresto (Echoes) featuring Beyoncé,’ ‘Highest in the Room,’ and ‘Butterfly Effect.’
