On July 26, Travis Scott’s Egyptian fans were upset to learn that Live Nation pulled the plug on a concert scheduled to take place at the Pyramids Of Giza due to logistical issues. However, that didn’t stop Scott from putting on his Circus Maximus concert on Monday, August 7, in Rome, Italy. Ahead of his Utopia Tour, Scott treated supporters to a taste of what’s to come from the upcoming stadium run.

During the elaborate show, Scott reunited with his longtime friend and frequent collaborator Kanye West to perform their song, “Praise God,” featuring Baby Keem. In a video clip posted by XXL, the pair feed off of each other energy as they rap their respective parts of the track, which was featured on West’s 2021 album Donda.

The surprise appearance from West shocked fans as it marked his first live performance since the string of anti-Semitic remarks he made late last year. Scott took a moment to acknowledge West’s impact on his work, seeming to confirm fans’ theory that his latest album, Utopia, was inspired by West’s 2013 album Yeezus. “There is no Utopia without Kanye West,” he told the crowd. “There is no Travis Scott without Kanye West. There is no Rome without Kanye West. Make some noise for Ye.”.

Scott’s commentary could also be a subtle response to fellow rapper Asap Rocky’s recent diss at Rolling Loud Miami on July 23. In a song snippet, Rocky claimed someone stole his flow, which people online believed was a reference to Scott.

Will Travis Scott Go On A Stadium Tour For ‘Utopia?’

With the release of his new single, “KPop,” Travis Scott fans’ anticipation for the rapper’s upcoming album, Utopia, has just ballooned. Although the musician’s previously announced concert at Egypt’s Great Pyramids of Giza in Eygpt seems to be in trouble, that isn’t the only way to see Scott’s high-energy stage show. So when will Travis Scott go on a stadium tour run for the album Utopia?

According to an Easter egg in the “KPop” music video, you won’t have to wait much longer. The visual — filmed at the Allianz Riviera stadium in Nice, France — revealed signage suggesting that Scott was in the midst of rehearsals for the Utopia Stadium Tour. No date appears on the banners plastered around the venue. Still, these graphics were strategically placed for a reason, it would seem, just as with the mystery billboards that appeared around different cities, suggesting that July 21 would mark a huge date for Scott.

That wasn’t the only Easter egg hidden within the video for the track. Shortly after the 30-second mark, the entertainer strikes a pose while the motorcyclist performs a daring stunt. While most would draw their attention to the cyclist, Scott’s wardrobe that you should be taking notes on. On his feet is a pair of “Cut The Check” sneakers, his latest footwear collaboration with the Jordan brand.

Although Scott hasn’t confirmed when his album, tour, or sneaker will be released, fans speculate that his headlining set at Rolling Loud Miami 2023 tomorrow (June 22) will reveal more details.
