Travis Scott brought his Astroworld Festival back to Houston, Texas, for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic shut the world down, and La Flame treated fans to a hell of a surprise.
Toward the end of his explosive set on Friday (November 5), Scott asked the crowd to turn up a little more from the front, all the way to the back. Fans were confused by his request as they were energetic the whole time, but that changed as soon as Drake’s Certified Lover Boy single “Knife Talk” crept through the speakers.
The 6 God suddenly appeared on stage, and fans burst with excitement seeing him in the flesh, ripping through his surprise performance. Scott felt the energy from the crowd so much for “Knife Talk” that he told Drizzy to keep going, and he was more than happy to oblige.
Drake gave fans a triple shot of CLB hits with “TSU,” “Way 2 Sexy” and “In 2 Deep.” As if that weren’t enough, Drizzy and Scott performed their No. 1 hit record “SICKO MODE,” satisfying the rabid audience.
Halfway into his impromptu set, Drake made sure to give Scott his flowers for throwing an event such as the Astroworld Festival. According to Drake, it’s rare for anyone to do what Scott is doing right now with this annual festival.
“This shit doesn’t happen every day,” Drake said. “You got to be one of the most influential, incredible, best dressed, best musicians with one of the brightest minds and the biggest fan base to pull some shit like this off.”
Drake continued at the end of his set, “One more time, I’m not going to take too much of your time, but Houston, Texas, make some noise for that muthafuckin’ man right there one more time.”

Excellent article… sounds like a great time was had by all!
Lmao. That’s the headline? How about 8 people trample to death. This site is a joke.
This is an aggregate site. No original journalism. Even still how y’all miss a big story like this? 8 people dead, hundreds injured. The way the article is written makes him sound very culpable too! Lawyers gonna have a field day with this. Condolences to tbe families of victims
get all these uncivilized people jacked up this is what happens. To me Travis Scott is sort of like the Limp Bizkit of rap big stupid and annoying. Dude was probably jumping up and down on stage yelling about get hype stupid fck not realizing people getting crushed. You can’t bring 50000 selfish people together and expect it all to go right every time. I wondered when the first mass casualty event would happen at these trap festivals. Won’t see me on the bill of any of these next summer
Wouldnt it be funny if it was that Drake look a like from Miami they keep talking about.
8 people died also…
Yeah. This did not age well in a very short period of time.
8 dead but yeah Drake performed
TRAVIS SCOTT BROUGHT OUT DRAKE
Zero mention of the eight people dead. Hip hop dx is shameless. Absolute garbage site. Report facts or don’t report shit. Y’all suck. Shame on y’all.
Do puts drake above human life. Time to boycott this place
DX puts drake above human life. Time to boycott this place
Totally killed it!
I want to say too soon but that was good. I hate you, but that was good xD
Why is this article still up?
There’s never going to be another “Astroworld” festival. Fck these corporate rap clowns. And not Travis Scott himself because there were others lined up to be him most notably this Father creep I can think of. It’s their bldclot plan they are the enemy – my advice is walk away from the money with a smile and good intentions with your life and music! we will see you good people down the line I promise
CLB hits? LOL. That album flopped. They obviously paid to keep it at number 1. No one I know can name a hit off of that album. There wasn’t a hotline bling or any other annoying ass track you hear everywhere.
How has this not been taken down? Just as heartless and money hungry as Travis Scott and Drake I guess.
8 people lost their lives that night and you don’t even make the slightest mention of the tragedy that took place… Whoever wrote this article is as much a piece of garbage as the people responsible.
You left out the name of the kid who is still in a coma from this fiasco. What a pathetic article.
