Rapper Travis Scott announced on Tuesday night that he would
commemorate the success of his
No. 1 album, “Astroworld,” by giving away $100,000 to his
fans through the Cash App.

Scott’s label, Epic Records, confirmed the giveaway to
Billboard on Tuesday.

Scott has since sent sums ranging from $50 to $1,000 to several
fans on Twitter for tweeting lyrics from “Astroworld” along with
their “cash tag” for the app. 

“SO I KNOW ITS HARD FOR THE KIDS SO I DECIDED TO UNLOAD MY
BANK ACCOUNT ON U GUYS,” Scott tweeted on Tuesday. “IM BUSTING
DOWN $100,000 AND GIVING AWAY TO ANY FANS THAT CAN TWEET ME THERE
CASH TAG WITH LYRICS FROM ASTRO. GANG !!”

The giveaway appeared to be ongoing on Wednesday morning, as
Scott tweeted late Tuesday night that he had “$75K
left” to give, and he continued to retweet accounts he had
sent money to in the morning. 

Scott’s third studio album, “Astroworld,” debuted at No. 1 on the
Billboard 200 album chart after its release last week. The album
moved 537,000 equivalent album units, the
second-highest first week sales for an album this year, behind
Drake’s June release, “Scorpion,” according to
Billboard.

Scott’s previous album, “Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight,”
also debuted at No. 1 in September 2016 but earned
only 88,000 equivalent album units.
