Travis Scott’s performance at the Grammys on Sunday has sparked uproar on social media, with viewers promising to “never forget Astroworld.”

The rapper performed the tracks “My Eyes,” “Fe!” and “I Know” from his latest album Utopia. The 32-year-old’s set featured a post-apocalyptic background, complete with fog and flames, with the Grammy nominee finishing his show by smashing folding chairs against the stage floor.

However, several viewers were not amused by Scott’s performance and made reference to a fatal crowd crush at one of his concerts in 2021. Eight people were killed by compression asphyxia during the musician’s Astroworld Festival that year after concert-goers swarmed towards the stage. Two more later died in hospital.

“Why does Travis Scott still have a career after astroworld. Genuinely asking,” said @goslinggrry on X, formerly Twitter.

“Still very odd to me how everyone and their mother seemingly collectively forgot all about the travis scott astroworld incident,” wrote @recklessrexha.

“Showing Travis Scott with the raging crowds after what happened at the Astroworld festival is a choice…” said Ken, while Natalie commented: “I can not believe they let him perform tonight.”

@AlliePsychic said: “NEVER FORGET ASTROWORLD.”
