Also making appearances are Bon Iver, The Weeknd, Sampha, Drake, James Blake, Young Thug and many more.However, KayCyy isn’t credited as a featured artist on ‘Thank God’ despite performing the song’s chorus, while it has also been reported that he wrote a sizeable amount of it.It seems apparent KayCyy agrees with the criticism.

I’m not no background singer… fuck Trav!!!”Y’all keep sending me these messages … Y’all kno what I do .. ! I’m not no background singer ….

A Houston-based news organisation has revealed that a deal between Travis Scott and Apple regarding the livestreaming of his 2021 Astroworld performance required the rapper to complete his set in order to receive a $4.5 million fee. That has led to some discussion about whether or not that agreement put pressure on the rapper’s team to keep his Astroworld set going despite the crowd surge that occurred in the audience which resulted in ten fatalities.The recent publication of the Houston Police Department’s report into the Astroworld tragedy has put a new focus on the big question as to why Scott’s set continued for some time after the scale of the problems within the crowd had become apparent to emergency services.
