Travis Scott tries his best to spread holiday merriment post the Astroworld tragedy

Travis Scott took the initiative to distribute toys in order to spread cheer and joy during Christmas after the tragic Astroworld accident took place.

He has been staying out of the public eye as much as possible ever since the Astroworld tragedy took place, leading to the death of 10 people including children.

It comes after Travis Scott sat down with 'Charlamagne Tha God' for his first interview post the accident. During the interview, Travis revealed that he was not aware of the events that were happening while he was on stage on the night of November 5, and did not know about the scale of the tragedy until after the show.

Travis Scott commented:

“I didn’t know the exact details until minutes before the press conference after the concert and even at that moment, you’re kind of like, ‘Wait, what?”
