Travis Scott has suffered another blow in the aftermath of the Astroworld tragedy with the news that the musician’s alcohol brand ‘Cacti beverages’ has been dropped by Anheuser-Busch.
Alcohol Company Drops Travis Scott’s Alcohol Range
This is the second time of late that Travis has suffered a discontinuation of a brand deal, given that the musician continues to fight lawsuits that have been filed against him on the grounds of negligence. Initially, Nike came out and confirmed that they would be postponing his sneaker line.
Although Travis denied that he was aware of the injuries in the crowd until after the concert, it has not been enough to save him from the brands that have distanced themselves from him.
In an official statement on behalf of the company, a spokesperson said: “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.” Nevertheless, Anheuser-Busch refused to confirm whether this was in response to the Astroworld incident.
But on reflection, it could only be due to this because there would be no other reason why the partnership would have to end. Prior to the actual incident, Travis was one of the most talked about musicians in the world.
He had also been popular by the fact that he is romantically involved with none other than Kylie Jenner. But this news has been very damaging for the artist, especially since he admitted to taking a lot of pride in launching this product.
Not only that, but given that it has hardly been on the market with reports indicating that it launched in March of this year, this has been a bitter pill to swallow.
In a prior statement at the launch, Travis remarked: “It’s been really rewarding building out the CACTI brand over the past year, not only with the physical product on shelves but being able to exercise my creativity.”
Perhaps this will be a wake-up call for Travis to right his wrongs. Unless he comes out and accepts responsibility regardless of the fact that this incident was unforeseen for him, it may save his reputation.
