Rapper Travis Scott announced on Tuesday night that he would

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.
