Kanye West surprises at ASTROWORLD.
Travis Scott’s festival returned to Houston’s NRG Park for the second year. During Travis’ headlining set on Saturday night, he surprised the crowd by bringing out West, who took the stage to his Jesus Is King single “Follow God,” rapping along as Travis turned up alongside him.
“Make some noise for Kanye West!” said Travis before the DJ played “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” as Kanye repeated the hook, while the crowd sang along to every word.
Before leaving the stage, the two shared a long embrace and some words before West exited and Travis finished his performance.
The onstage reunion comes nearly one year after their fallout. Kanye was upset that Travis allowed Drake to “sneak diss” him (“Checks over stripes”) on their hit collaboration “Sicko Mode.” “I actually like sickomode but I don’t like that that is was sneak disses,” Ye tweeted in Dec. 2018. “Trav is my family and let this met throw sneak disses at me for clout.” They apparently met up in person later and resolved their issues.
Earlier in the day, three people were trampled and hospitalized as hoards of fans rushed to enter ASTROWORLD. Video footage shows festivalgoers climbing over fences and knocking down a barricade to enter the festival, which was attended by 50,000 people.
The second annual event also featured performances from Migos, Pharrell Williams, Young Thug, Playboi Carti, Gucci Mane, DaBaby, Megan Thee Stallion, Rosalía, and Marilyn Manson.
