Pre-‘SNL’ drop
Rapper is set to perform as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live tonight, March 30
Travis Scott has dropped his video for “Fe!n” featuring Playboi Carti. The single is off of Scott’s Utopia, which was released last summer.
Scott released the Gabriel Moses-directed video ahead of his appearance on Saturday Night Live tonight, March 30, where he will serve as the musical guest. In the visual, the duo is seen making woozy 360-degree rotations aptly timed to their bars and the beats. A choir of children, dancers, a Sumo wrestler, and more are also seen spinning in front of the video’s black backdrop.
The follow up to 2018’s Astroworld, Utopia features a bevy of collaborations, including Bad Bunny and The Weeknd (“K-Pop“), Teezo Touchdown (“Modern Jam”), Drake (“Meltdown”), Beyoncé (“Delresto (Echoes)”), and SZA and Future (“Telekinesis”), among others. The album debuted at Number One on the Billboard 200 chart.
On Monday, the rapper sought to be dismissed from the ongoing lawsuits tied to the deadly Astroworld crowd rush in 2021, according to a motion filed in Houston, with Scott’s attorneys arguing that he wasn’t in charge of event safety and that “performers are not expected to render special protection to the audience, nor to safeguard them from the rest of the crowd.” A grand jury in Houston determined last June that Scott and several organizers behind the 2021 festival — where 10 people were killed and hundreds of others said they were injured — would not face criminal charges.
Earlier this month, Scott teamed up with the Weeknd and producer Mike Dean, who has served as a producer on his albums, to perform “Circus Maximus” from Utopia, and he also performed “Fe!n.”
