The fallout continues for “Sicko Mode” rapper Travis Scott as more brands distance themselves from him.
Scott had hoped his sit-down interview with Charlamagne the god last week would bring comfort and healing to the families of the victims who died or were injured at his Astroworld Festival.
But Scott’s first interview since his Astroworld catastrophe only angered his victims’ loved ones.
Coachella organizers announced the troubled rapper will not grace the stage in 2022. And Anheuser-Busch canceled his spiked CACTI seltzers, which have been in stores for less than a year.
The city of Indio announced Coachella axed Scott’s planned performance next year. The decision comes after an online petition garnered more than 75,000 signatures. And Anheuser-Busch deleted the CACTI seltzer brand’s social media accounts on Instagram and Twitter.
In a statement, Anheuser-Busch said the brand’s fans would understand the decision to torpedo Scott’s seltzer drinks.
“After careful evaluation, we have decided to stop all production and brand development of CACTI Agave Spiked Seltzer. We believe brand fans will understand and respect this decision,” a spokesperson for the company said in a statement, per AdAge.
