Travis Scott gave his shirt and shoes to a fan in the audience at one of his shows after a Texas grand jury recently declined to bring criminal charges against him for the deadly crowd surge at his 2021 Astroworld festival.
The 32-year-old rapper was performing at Rolling Loud festival in the Netherlands over the weekend when he headed over to the front row to get closer to the crowd.
The ex-boyfriend of reality star Kylie Jenner, 25, was quickly impressed by one guy who was rapping his lyrics straight back to him.
In video footage circulating online, Travis appeared impressed with the fan’s ability to keep up with his own rhyming pace as they traded lines on the mic, and promptly stripped off his shirt and handed them over, along with his shoes.
While others in the immediate vicinity made a grab for the garments, the Sicko Mode rapper made sure they went to the intended recipient.

The shirt appeared to be an unreleased piece of ‘Utopia’ merchandise, while the shoes were custom Nike Air Jordans the rapper recently has been seen wearing.
The Dutch fan later admitted he’d had the best night of his life.
He shared pictures of his new merchandise on Twitter and wrote: ‘GREATEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE (sic)’
He also reposted fan footage of the moment he came face-to-face with his idol and wrote: ‘I WON LIFE (sic)’
And he told another fan: ‘i slept like a baby with my new babies ain’t gon lie (sic)’
This isn’t the first time Travis has given away his shoes.
Last year, he was leaving Los Angeles nightspot TAO when he saw a number of fans waiting outside for autographs and pictures.
Although he jumped straight into a waiting car, the vehicle then drove past the group and slowly approached the crowd. It then stopped, the window was rolled down and Travis handed over a pair of Nike Air Jordan 1 low sneakers.

The waiting fans rushed to grab the souvenir, with two taking home one shoe each as Travis’ car drove away.
The Houston rapper’s lawyer Kent Schaffer confirmed on Thursday that the Harris County grand jury had met and decided not to indict his client on any criminal charges stemming from the 2021 Astroworld concert.
‘He never encouraged people to do anything that resulted in other people being hurt,’ Schaffer said, adding that the decision is ‘a great relief.’
Circumstances of the deaths limited what charges prosecutors were able to present before the grand jury, eliminating potential counts such as murder, manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide, said Alycia Harvey, an assistant district attorney with the Harris County District Attorney´s Office.
That left prosecutors to focus on possible counts of endangering a child in connection with the deaths of the two youngest concertgoers, ages 9 and 14, she added.
‘The grand jury … found that no crime did occur, that no single individual was criminally responsible,’ Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said.
The Nov. 5, 2021, crowd surge in Houston killed 10 young festivalgoers who ranged in age from 9 to 27. The official cause of death was compression asphyxia, which an expert likened to being crushed by a car.
Roughly 300 people were injured and treated at the scene, and 25 were taken to hospitals.
