His second album, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight (2016), debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, highlighting his ability to create music that is both commercially viable and artistically innovative. However, it was his third album, Astroworld (2018), that definitively solidified his position as one of hip-hop's greatest artists.

His career, however, has not been without controversy.

This incident led to significant scrutiny of the event's organization and security practices, impacting his public image.

Travis Scott remains one of the most influential figures in hip-hop and modern pop culture, known both for his music and his ability to create a personal brand that extends far beyond the music industry.
