Two years following the fatal Astroworld Festival, Travis Scott spoke on the tragic event.
"I always think about it. Those fans were like my family," Scott said in an interview with GQ for their Men of the Year Issue. "You just feel for those people. And their families."
He described the time as "overly devastating" and that it affected his mental health when working on his new album, "Utopia." In fact, the rapper admitted it took "months and months and months" after that night to get back to his music.
"Making music, you think about things that go on in life and things that happen in your life, and you dial in on things. That moment for families, for the city, you know, it was devastating," he said.
However, he added that it was "therapeutic" for him to be "able to channel some of the energy into production and sounds and finishing it."

In Scott's song "My Eyes," he specifically references the tragic events in Houston. Lyrics from the song are:
"I replay them nights, and right by my side, all I see is a sea of people that ride wit' me/If they just knew what Scotty would do to jump off the stage and save him a child"
When speaking on the song, the rapper said, "The things I deal with on a day-to-day basis and the fact of how it could be misunderstood and the struggles of life and all aspects of life."
"The constant weight that's put on," he continued. "That you carry, you know. And just a vision through my eyes."
"The song is emotional to me," he added. "It's one of my favorite songs on the album. And that verse means a lot to me."
