Travis Scott performing at Billboard Awards in most public post-Astroworld appearance yet
Travis Scott was set to make his most public post-Astroworld appearance yet, performing onstage and for broadcast audiences at the Billboard Awards on Sunday.
The rapper has slowly been easing back into the public spotlight in the wake of the music-festival tragedy last November in which 10 people died during his set at NRG Park in Houston after the crowd surged, crushing concertgoers.

Earlier this year he performed briefly at a pre-Oscars party and then at a Coachella afterparty a few weeks later. Last week he gave his first public performance, for about 45 minutes at the E11EVEN nightclub in Miami.
Scott had said he didn’t realize what was going on just below him during the concert. He offered to pay funeral costs and refund tickets for all 50,000 festivalgoers. But that didn’t stop victims’ families from suing, most recently a couple who said the Astroworld tragedy caused a woman to miscarry.

Executive producer and host of this year’s Billboard Music Awards Sean “Diddy” Combs said he was determined to resurrect Scott’s image.
“I am uncanceling the canceled,” he said, according to CNN.
“I made a request. I made a demand,” he said on Instagram. “I said, ‘My brother Travis Scott has to perform. Diddy is hosting the show. I’m executive producing. He has to perform,’ and NBC said ‘yes.’ It’s going down. Sunday, Travis Scott will be performing. Let’s go.”
Others performing at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas include Silk Sonic, Megan Thee Stallion and Mary J. Blige.
Among the early winners were Drake, named top artist, male artist, rap artist, rap male artist and rap album for “Certified Lover Boy,” extending his record as the most decorated in the history of the awards show, with 34 wins.
