Travis Scott recently came into controversy following a tragedy at the Astroworld Festival. The show was absolute chaos and displayed the negligence of the performers, including Travis Scott. People were quick to call out the artist on his behavior and this outrage resulted in Fortnite pulling out the Travis Scott “Out West” emote from the game.

This came to highlight as the entire ‘Daily’ section of the Item shop was removed from the game. Fortnite Status offered a clarification on the same but did not elaborate much on this matter, except mentioning this was intentional.

Fans have been quick to react to this matter and their biggest concern right now might be the lost V-Bucks and refunds!

 

Some even went on to call this move performative and to not have any real impact. This was done in a mocking nature by the Twitter users.
