Travis Scott Talks About Grammys Experience
On Thursday (April 18), Travis Scott stopped by LeBron James show The Shop alongside Ice Spice. He talked about his experience at the 2024 Grammys, where he once again lost Best Rap Album for his latest effort Utopia.
“I feel like sometimes things get stuck in like old ways,” Travis said. “I’m not saying there’s nothing wrong with people winning, I just think it needs to be like obvious understanding…like I sold out SoFi this year, right? I didn’t know I was the only rapper to do that but that’s crazy. When people go back in time like 10 years from now, when we’re not gonna remember this moment, they gotta go through the catalog to figure out what’s going on.”
He continued, “I think about this s**t like a club, there’s a Grammy club, right? And you got Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, these are real greats. Kanye West, Jay-Z, you know I’m at the motherf***ing, at the rope like, ‘yo!’ You hear their music in the party…You gonna have some n***as in there that you don’t even know these muthaf**kas.”
