Months after the deadly Astroworld music festival that claimed the lives of numerous people and injured hundreds of concertgoers, it seems like Travis Scott is doing his best to get back on the music scene as he recently performed in Florida.
According to Page Six, the rapper was seen performing at Miami's E11even over the weekend.
An attendee spoke to the outlet, saying there was one moment when Scott picked up a fan's phone to take a video and give them a better angle.
However, the fan was in a "FaceTime call," leaving the rapper confused and "flipped off the guy at the other end of the call in a playful way" before returning the phone to its owner.
The show was not planned as the outlet described it as "impromptu," which began around 3:15 a.m. with the help of DJ Chase B.
Throughout his show, the father of two did his best to keep the crowd hype as he got on top of the DJ booth and acted as if it was his stage.
Some songs he performed were "Highest in the Room" and "Pick Up the Phone," while DJ Chase B played other tracks from other artists afterward.
This was not the first time the rapper performed since last year's Astroworld tragedy, as he also played at the same nightclub for their Miami Grand Prix celebration in May.
He reportedly threw money into the crowd while holding a bottle of tequila.
"Everybody owes me a shot. We need every stripper to report to the f****** stage right now. We need every bottle reported to this m********* floor," he said.
The performance lasted for less than an hour.
It was his first public show since the Astroworld tragedy, but the outlet noted that he's been playing at private events over the past few months.
Since the shocking event last year, Kylie Jenner's partner said he was not aware that people watching his set were hurt or killed; that's why he went on with his performance despite numerous videos circulating online of concertgoers asking him to stop.
Ten people ages 9 to 27 died that evening, while hundreds were injured.
"You want to make sure fans get the proper attention they need. I just go off the fans' energy. But I just didn't hear screams," he said in his only interview about the festival.
