THE ASTROWORLD tragedy led Travis Scott to keep a relatively low profile.

Will Travis Scott perform at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards?
The Billboard Music Awards are set to return for their annual live broadcast on May 15, 2022.
Alongside a roster of artists including Megan Thee Stallion, Dua Lipa, Mary J Blige and Morgan Wallen, Travis Scott is also set to take the stage.
Travis’ performance at the 2022 BBMAs will be his first performance on live television after flying under the music radar following the deadly Astroworld disaster that took place on November 6, 2021.
The rapper’s appearance at the BBMAs was first brought up by the host of the evening, Sean “Diddy” Combs.
During a Friday, May 6, press conference with Billboard in Los Angeles, Calif., Diddy went into detail about his attempts to get the outlet to add Travis — as well as Morgan Wallen – the programming of the show.
The star producer revealed, “The mood of the show is one of love and forgiveness.
“As a musical family, none of us are holy; none of us are without what happens to him in life.
He further shared, “So one of the things that I do directly is not undo the undo.”

“It’s breaking news because people didn’t want to cancel. But the cancellation is a trend that needs to stop.”
Diddy addressed the subject of the controversy surrounding both Travis and Morgan and said: “Travis has been through a tragedy; Morgan [used the N-word] while talking to her boy.
“People make mistakes. Now we move forward with love and respect for everyone who has been hurt or affected.
“It’s time to forgive. So Morgan and Travis can come back and hit the stage again with the mindset of getting a second chance at life.”

“My brother, Travis Scott has to perform and NBC said yes. Sunday Travis Scott will perform.”
