Travis Scott has been called out by his chart rival Sabrina Carpenter after releasing several bonus editions of his Days Before Rodeo mixtape.
Scott and the “Espresso” pop star are locked in a tight battle for number one on the Billboard 200 with the Houston rapper dropping a variety of new versions of the re-released mixtape today (August 30).
The first bonus is titled Days Before Rodeo – Live from Atlanta: Chopped & Screwed – Vault 1 & 2 and features previously unheard snippets from the tape’s recording sessions as well as the recent anniversary performance Scott put on in Atlanta.
He then announced three deluxe versions of the mixtape, each featuring two new songs and all available exclusively through his website.

The move did not go unnoticed by Carpenter who wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “This is for Nicki,” a reference to Scott beating out Nicki Minaj to number one in 2018 with his Astroworld album.
Minaj then returned the love to the pop star, saying on Instagram Live: “Shout out Sabrina Carpenter, shout out all the Sabrina Carpenter fans.”
Minaj was famously beaten to the top of the Billboard 200 in 2018 by Scott with her not taking second place well, accusing the “Goosebumps” rapper of gaming the system with his bundle offers.
On Queen Radio, she ranted: “What we’re not gonna do is have that Auto-Tune man selling fucking sweaters. Telling you he sold half a million albums, because he fucking didn’t. You stupid fuck. You got your fucking homeboy talking for you and you got your girlfriend selling tour passes. Stop it. Knock it the fuck off.”
The chart battle between the Days Before Rodeo re-release and Carpenter’s debut Sweet N’ Sour is expected to be a closely run thing.
Midweek estimates had Carpenter shifting over 300,000 equivalent units with Scott thought to be lagging behind on 217,000 but it was expected for the gap to close as the week progressed due to “FEIN” star’s strong streaming presence.
Whether it tops the chart or not, Scott’s re-release is expected to outsell virtually every other Hip Hop release from 2024. If it continues its late surge, Days Before Rodeo may even top Eminem‘s The Death of Slim Shady as having the biggest first week sales of any rap album this year.
Don’t know who she is, but I’m willing to bet money she’s more talented than this fucking clown. Who the hell honestly listens to this asshole?
Apparently the Boy Meets World reboot Girl Meets World child star turned pop star. So probably another little girl that these perverts couldn’t wait to grow up and are now lusting over that she’s singing about sex and stuff.
I bet BBLDRIZZY has been DM’ing her for years now.
Though he may not be as terrific as drake, I would take him over a fucking disney star.
Why is this contest even a thing ? Clearly its two different genres with 2 different fan groups. Billboard needs to just go away. They are pointless since the fall of compact discs. Its all bullshit now, you cant fairly count streams cause its not a real purchase. All music artists should band together and cancel billboard until they cease to exist.
It’s cute that you think it’s two different fan groups. The modern pop rap star doesn’t rap about shit and most of these pop stars swerve into the hip hop lane. Miley Cyrus and Post Malone built their whole careers on doing it. I don’t know this girl’s music (nor do I know Travis Scott’s either since it sucks), but I’m sure she is following the same blueprint laid out by every former child star turned popstar/rapper the last 20 years. Arianna Grande is a perfect example.
Sabrina’s a fucking pop hypocrite. She’s using the same tactics travis is using. She just can’t handle a black man being more successful than him. Meanwhile, travis stays winning by being cool with Drake unlike many who choose to diss drake and lose popularity because of it
It’s hiliarious to know that with 6 albums, sabrina STILL can’t get a no.1 album. Travis only needed 2 to get his first no.1 album and drake did this from his debut album and has been no.1 ever since
Travis Scott is a trapper listened to by the new generations who don’t understand shit about rap or trap. and then you tell her that the best in trap are Jeezy T.i. and they even tell you who the fuck am I?! …what a sad world. Travis is clearly overrated by the average listener. convinced that Travis is the best in trap history. He doesn’t make club songs or serious, badass songs. he makes senseless pieces.
