Travis Scott Fans Cause Barricade Breach At Dior Paris Fashion Week Show
Travis Scott has one of the most rabid fan bases, and they’ll continually pop out in numbers whenever La Flame makes an appearance.
On Friday (June 25), the Astroworld rapper participated in Dior’s fashion show for Paris Fashion Week, and as expected, fans arrived in droves to get a glimpse of Scott. However, things almost turned sour when a barricade blocking the fans from the show was knocked over.
In a clip shared on social media, Travis Scott stands on the other side of the barricade as he talked to fans. Before long, the border cascaded after fans were pushing their way through to get to the rapper.
“Let’s fucking go!” Scott yelled at fans before running off into a building with his team.

A handful of fans got through, but security did their job keeping everyone at bay. Those lucky to get an actual ticket got to see Travis Scott’s new collection with Dior, which includes the Pop Smoke t-shirt and various pieces mixed with Cactus Jack motifs.
The unprecedented collaboration marks the first time a musician will create a collection for Dior. Scott also previewed several songs at the show, including a track featuring Westside Gunn and James Blake.
Travis Scott’s Dior collaboration is another entry in his extensive brand résumé. The Houston native has been on a roll with his merchandise and Nike collabs selling out within minutes. In 2020 alone, he established partnerships with Mattel, McDonald’s, PlayStation, Anheuser-Busch and more.
