Travis Scott brought out Playboi Carti at the 2024 Grammy Awards on Sunday night for a performance on his songs "Fein" and "My Eyes." In doing so, he brought rage-filled energy to the stage alongside flamethrowers and strobe lights. While on stage, Scott shouted, "They slept on me 10 times!"
The performance came after Scott lost the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album to Killer Mike's Michael. Other nominees in the category included Metro Boomin (HEROES & VILLAINS), Nas (King’s Disease III), and Drake & 21 Savage (Her Loss). It marked Scott's 10th losing nomination over the course of his career. He's still yet to win. Unsurprisingly, his fans were furious with the result. "Travis Scott deserved this one especially after the grammys disaster of 2018," one argued on Twitter.
Best Rap Album wasn't the only honor Killer Mike took home at the ceremony. He also won Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance with his track “Scientists & Engineers." It's the first time he's won a Grammy since 2003, when he took home Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for his work on Outkast's “The Whole World.” The night wasn't all positive for Mike. After accepting his awards, he was seen being taken out of the venue in handcuffs by police. The arrest reportedly stemmed from a misdemeanor battery charge regarding an incident that took place outside the Crypto.com arena. Check out Travis Scott's performance at the Grammys below.
Elsewhere during the ceremony, Lil Durk, J. Cole, Victoria Monet, and more artists took home other awards. Be on the lookout for further updates on Travis Scott as well as the 2024 Grammy Awards on HotNewHipHop.

Rumors are circulating that Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G have already been secured as two of the three main headliners for next year’s Coachella.
According to insiders speaking with Rolling Stone, the event’s organizers, Goldenvoice, are in the process of putting the finishing touches on the lineup, which is expected to be revealed later this fall.
If the reports turn out to be true, it would represent a huge career moment for both stars. Carpenter, who recently dropped her newest album Man’s Best Friend, first performed at Coachella in 2024 while “Espresso” was climbing charts around the globe. Since then, her playful pop style has grown into a stage presence that fits the scale of major festivals.
For Karol G, the booking would put her among the small group of Latin artists who have ever headlined Coachella. She first appeared at the festival in 2022 with a performance that drew wide attention, and with her Mañana Será Bonito tour shattering records across continents, a headlining role would feel like overdue recognition of her worldwide reach.
The identity of the third headliner has not been confirmed. Still, speculation online has centered around Dua Lipa and Kendrick Lamar, fueling fan-created lineup posters and lively debates across social media.
Coachella is scheduled to return to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, for two weekends: April 10–12 and April 17–19.
This year’s edition featured headline sets from Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott.
Other notable acts who took the stage in the desert included Charli XCX, Missy Elliott, Megan Thee Stallion, Jennie and Lisa of BLACKPINK, Ed Sheeran, Beth Gibbons, The Prodigy, and Japanese Breakfast.
