It looks like Travis Scott has finally learned his lesson on his crowd's safety after hitting pause on her most recent Coney Island concert after spotting fans in danger.

The "Sicko Mode" hitmaker opened Meek Mill's concert at the Coney Art Walls yesterday at the Fourth of July concert.

The move is a huge contrast to what Scott allegedly committed at his infamous Astroworld Festival in 2021, which claimed the lives of festivalgoers and stained his flourishing career.

Travis Scott Stops NYC Party Over Safety Concerns for Fans

After a successful Michael Rubin's Hamptons white party last weekend, Travis Scott fired up Meek Mill's concert on the Coney Art Walls last night.

"Ayo, my brother, just make sure you're okay. Come on Iron Man. If everybody okay, let me get a hell yeah. Y'all relax. You, back up. I hear you," Scott told the crowd after a concert, wearing a Spiderman costume hangs.

However, his words were not enough yet, as far as the concert's security team's liking, so Scott instructed everyone to do something that his detractors would have loved hearing from him in Astroworld.

"Time out, everybody right here, take two steps back. Security, don't push the barricade. Take two steps back. We gotta get down. My brother, you got to," the GRAMMY-nominated rapper said.

After it was all sorted out, the rest of Travis Scott's performance went smoothly. He even performed his recent single Hold That Heat, a collaboration he had with Future and Southside.

Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival

Coincidentally, Travis Scott's Coney Island performance was exactly eight months since the tragic Astroworld Festival happened.

The now-infamous festival in Houston claimed the lives of ten people and left hundreds injured.

The sweeping allegations thrown at Scott have then resulted in multi-billion dollar lawsuits, an expose documentary film, and a ton load of detractors.

Travis Scott faced immense backlash from the music community and fans after allegedly neglecting his fans which eventually led to the bloody festival crush.

But since the accident, Scott has made significant efforts on event safety initiatives - even pledging over $5 million to Project HEAL.
