Travis Scott is one of the most popular artists today. He is also known for creating viral moments at his concerts.
During the Miami stop of his ‘Utopia’ tour, the multi-platinum artist showed off his generosity. One of the staples of Scott’s shows is the mosh pit. When he realized that the arena had assigned a janitor to specifically clean the mosh pit, he paid the janitor $5,000 to stop cleaning the place and enjoy the rest of the show, according to TMZ.
“Footage from Trav’s ‘Utopia’ tour stop on Sunday night showed Cactus Jack’s generous side…after looking at the man wielding a mop to clean up after all the sweaty rages. “He immediately stopped the show and questioned the venue’s motives for the guy smearing the essence of their mosh pit,” TMZ wrote.
“Travis then ordered the janitor to drop the mop and enjoy the rest of the show as a fan, because he was paying him $5,000 to do so.”

Rapper breaks silence on Astroworld tragedy
Scott’s shows have always had a reputation for being chaotic. But things went off the rails during the 2021 Astroworld Festival in his hometown of Houston, Texas. A stampede during the concert caused 10 deaths and thousands of injuries. Last November he broke his silence about the fatal event.
“I always think about it. Those fans were like my family. You just feel for those people. And their families,” Scott said.
“When making music, you think about the things that happen in life and the things that happen in your life, and you focus on things. That moment for the families, for the city, you know, was devastating. [It was] therapeutic for [me to] Being able to channel some of the energy into the production and the sounds and finish it.”
Scott reveals the meaning behind his latest album
After the tragic event, many fans were still waiting for Scott’s next album. And after a hiatus of almost two years, he returned last July and released “Utopia,” his fourth studio album. Since the album is his first since Astroworld Festival, Scott delved into the meaning of his latest album.
“With every album I live in these worlds in my mind, I’m trying to show people experiences where utopian things can exist, and you can enjoy yourself and have a good time. They can create energy that casts magical things: new cures, new buildings, new pathways for people to advance. People need to see that utopia is real,” he stated.
“Utopia is something that people feel so far-fetched and out of reach, a perfect state of mind. But you create it yourself. There are people who achieve utopia every day. They may not be the richest people with the best houses, but it’s a utopia wherever they are, and that’s the most you can have.”
