Travis Scott is set to further write himself into the Hip Hop history books thanks to his Circus Maximus Tour.
According to Touring Data, La Flame’s global trek is on pace to become one of the highest-grossing tours in rap history.

“[Travis Scott’s] ‘Circus Maximus’ now aiming for $130-140 million from over 1.1 million tickets in 61 shows, following additional dates in Europe. It will mark the second highest-grossing tour by a Rapper in history,” the account reported on X (formerly Twitter).
With that figure, Travis’ tour will surpass other major rap runs like Kendrick Lamar‘s The Big Steppers Tour, 50 Cent‘s Final Lap Tour and Drake and Migos‘ Aubrey & The Three Migos Tour.
The 6 God still holds the overall record, though, with his It’s All a Blur Tour, which has generated a staggering $215 million in revenue from 50 of 80 shows.

It was back in November 2023, long before their rivalry exploded into a full-on battle, that Drake snatched the title belt from Kendrick Lamar to claim the highest-grossing Hip Hop tour ever.
K. Dot had broken the record a few months earlier when his Big Steppers Tour surpassed $110 million in ticket sales.

But he was soon eclipsed by Drizzy’s It’s All a Blur Tour, which began last summer and resumed earlier this year with support from J. Cole and Lil Durk, pulling in almost $130 million from just 30 shows.
Meanwhile, 50 Cent’s Final Lap entered the race earlier this year when its revenue reached $84 million — a figure that has since risen to $105 million.
The G-Unit boss reacted to the news on Instagram at the time, and took an opportunity to jab his ex-girlfriend and baby mother Daphne Joy over allegations that she was paid by Diddy as a sex worker.
“Whistle while you work guys, that’s my theme for today. I made all this money and I’m practicing abstinence, [shrug emoji] I don’t want a little sex worker,” he wrote.

Billed as 50 Cent’s farewell as a touring artist, the Final Lap Tour began in North America last July and later invaded Europe, Australia and Saudi Arabia, among other regions.
