Travis Scott slammed as 'foul' for rejecting girl to come on stage at his concert
The video has been widely circulated and condemned online
Travis Scott is facing backlash online for 'rejecting' a girl from coming up on stage with him at a concert.
On Sunday (29 October) Scott took to the stage in Las Vegas, Nevada, as part of his Utopia-Circus Maximus Tour.
During Scott's performance, an audience member appears to be invited up on stage with the rapper, however, a video circulating online seemingly shows the first person getting turned away. Prepare for an extremely awkward moment:

A video posted to TikTok by Ryan Breedlove - @ryanbreedslove - shows a girl being escorted towards the rapper, only for Scott to hold a finger up and the girl be escorted back down again.
The video then cuts to another girl being taken up onto the stage, and climbing up a ladder to join Scott on the platform he's performing on.
The crowd can be heard shouting in the background and the text reads: "First chick got rejected by Travis Scott!!"
The caption adds: "The real walk of shame @Travis Scott #TravisScott #lasvegas #screammovie #VozDosCriadores."
TikTokers have flooded to the comments of the post, many outraged with the 'SICKO MODE' rapper - some drawing on what happened at Astroworld.
One user said: "Bro this man barely apologized for Astro world what do y’all expect."
Another commented: "Wow that’s a fan. He should be thankful smh."
Meanwhile, a third argued: "Travis had to make the responsible choice he may have felt it was unsafe."
A Redditer named u/laylaaruby also re-shared the video to r/popculturechat branding Scott: 'so foul'.
If you've been living under a rock for the last two years, the Astroworld comments refer back to the 50,000-capacity music festival Scott held in Houston in 2021.
A fatal crowd rush occurred on the first night of the event which saw 10 people die, 25 others hospitalised and over 300 injured.
A Texas grand jury decided Scott would not face any charges over the incident and the rapper later donated $5 million to community initiatives.
The rapper - who shares two children with Kylie Jenner - said in a statement on Instagram at the time: "Over the past few months I’ve been taking the time and space to grieve, reflect and do my part to heal my community. Most importantly, I want to use my resources and platform moving forward towards actionable change. This will be a lifelong journey for me and my family.
"While it’s easy for corporations and institutions to stay in the shadows, I feel as a leader in my community, I need to step up in times of need. My team and I created Project HEAL to take much needed action towards supporting real solutions that make all events the safest spaces they can possibly be. I will always honor the victims of the Astroworld tragedy who remain in my heart forever."
UNILAD has contacted Travis Scott's representatives for comment.
