Travis Scott Shocks Fans With Surprise Appearance During Playboi Carti’s Set on The Weeknd’s Tour
Travis Scott thrilled fans in Chicago over the weekend with an unexpected appearance during Playboi Carti’s opening set on The Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn tour. The unannounced cameo happened at Soldier Field on Saturday night (May 31), as the two rappers joined forces on stage to perform a string of high-energy tracks—including their hit “FE!N” and the crowd favorite “CRUSH” from Carti’s recently released album MUSIC.
The surprise performance sent fans into a frenzy, especially as the two artists displayed electric chemistry while bouncing off each other’s verses. For many in attendance, it was a once-in-a-lifetime moment, watching two of hip-hop’s most enigmatic and influential performers share the stage in such a massive setting.
Carti later took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the moment and further tease his long-awaited next album, believed to be titled BABY BOI. He wrote, “SWAMP IZZO TRAVIS SCOTT TRIM DEM STADIUMS AINT NO JOKE KID YOU GOT 2 COME WITH IT BBYBOY,” fueling even more speculation that BABY BOI is on the way and could drop soon.
While Carti’s momentum is building on the musical front, his personal drama with Kanye West continues to make headlines. The two artists, who previously collaborated on major tracks like “Off the Grid” and “Go2DaMoon,” have been locked in a tense and public feud since Carti reportedly pulled West’s contribution from MUSIC due to the Yeezy mogul’s controversial social media behavior.
West, who has come under fire for inflammatory statements involving antisemitism and misogyny, lashed out at Carti, accusing him of disloyalty and even threatening to derail his career. In a series of heated comments, West referenced Carti’s reported attempt to collaborate with West’s daughter North, saying, “This n-gga is stupid, bro. You don’t know, when I’m dealing with my kids, this ain’t your niece, n-gga. This is my daughter.”
The tension escalated even further during West’s highly controversial Twitch debut, where he accused Carti of showing up armed at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles. “This n-gga told me he was at the Chateau with a gun, n-gga,” West said on the stream. “And the n-gga say he don’t be on the internet… what are we talking about, then?”
Carti, known for his elusive public persona, has yet to respond to the gun allegation and has remained mostly silent in the face of West’s increasingly erratic commentary. However, his actions suggest he’s focused on the music and letting the art do the talking—with the surprise Travis Scott performance serving as a prime example.
Despite the personal drama, fans are more eager than ever to hear what Carti has in store on BABY BOI. If the explosive energy of “FE!N” and “CRUSH” is any indication, and with collaborators like Travis Scott in the mix, the next phase of Carti’s career is shaping up to be as unpredictable as it is exciting.
