Travis Scott has made it clear that there will not be a repeat of the Astroworld tragedy on his watch, taking time to discourage a fan from risky behavior at a recent show.
During a stop along the Circus Maximus Tour, a fan rushed the stage mid-performance, prompting Cactus Jack to lecture the young one about the importance of safety at concerts.

“Ragin’ ain’t runnin’,” he admonished the fan. “If you runnin’ down here, that ain’t ragin’. Ragin’ is ragin’. Get back out there before one of these n-ggas knock your lights out. You get what I’m sayin’?”
Scott then launched into the next song of the set, which prompted the audience to show the young fan what “ragin'” was really all about. Check out the fan-captured footage below.
This isn’t the first time that Travis Scott has had to do a course correction with fans.
Back in November, in a clip captured at the Austin stop of his Circus Maximus tour, a fan who’s clearly ready to rage can be seen running through the elaborate stage setup.
At first, Travis grabs him by the shirt collar and looks like he is going to get him out of dodge immediately. But once security comes running, Cactus Jack actually waves them off and instead decides to rage alongside the excited fan.
The kid concluded his time on stage – by the end of which he was shirtless – by diving into the crowd.

That incident prompted Jermaine Dupri to share his thoughts on the matter, and needless to say, he was none-too-pleased about it.
In a now-deleted post he made on Twitter, which was captured by Hollywood Unlocked on November 24, the super-producer expressed his concern about the safety of both Cactus Jack and the fan himself.
“I just saw a kid jump onstage with Travis [mind blown emoji],” he wrote. “Do y’all know how dangerous that is? Like! What is security doing to allow this? And then once they see him, they wanna rough him up — it’s too late at that point, SMH.”
In better Travis Scott news, DJ Khaled was so excited about his new collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger that he had to tell famous friends like Cactus Jack and Fat Joe all about it.

Khaled’s new golf-themed Tommy x We The Best collection features nine different polo shirts inspired by Hilfiger’s 1990s styles, which became iconic in Hip Hop when they were adopted by artists like Grand Puba, Snoop Dogg and Aaliyah.
Appropriately, Puba’s verse on Mary J. Blige’s 1992 classic “What’s the 411?” which shouts out Hilfiger and brags about “[D]oin’ lovely in all sports/ Even swing the pole at the hole on my golf course,” soundtracks an ad for the collection.
