Travis Scott is feeling the after effects of the his deadly Astroworld Festival.

Earlier this year, Dior revealed Travis Scott’s capsule collection in collaboration with his Cactus Jack label. It was the first time the French luxury fashion house had teamed up with a musician for a full collection, so it was a MAJOR deal.

The collection was orginally slated to be released in Summer 2022. Now, it has been postponed “indefinitely.”

"Out of respect for everyone affected by the tragic events at Astroworld, Dior has decided to postpone indefinitely the launch of products from the Cactus Jack collaboration originally intended to be included in its summer 2022 collection," the company told WWD. 

The rapper's team noted the “Sicko Mode” rapper and Dior mutually decided to postpone the collection's January launch.

The postponement just adds to his growing list of postponements and cancellations for the Houston rapper. He was pulled from performing at Coachella, Nike postponed the release of its sneaker collaboration with Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack label, W magazine tried to pull its newest cover that featured Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner on the cover, and Anheuser-Busch InBev revealed that it is discontinuing its Travis Scott-backed hard seltzer brand, Cacti.

Earlier this month, Travis broke his silence on the Astroworld Festival, which resulted in almost a dozen people losing their lives, including a 9-year-old boy.

A week of festivities for Travis Scott's home city of Houston ended in tragedy as crowd surges in a sea of 50,000 attendees at NRG Stadium on November 5th took the lives of 10 fans. Once the headlining Houston rapper hit the stage during his Astroworld Festival, things went from bad to worse, which caused 10 people to lose their lives, all under 30, and many suffering from cardiac arrest.

The “Antidote” rapper was devastated by the news of his fans dying at the festival, so he offered to pay for their funerals. Several families of the 10 people who died from injuries have turned down the offer for the rapper to pay for their loved one’s funerals. According to Rolling Stone, the families of half of the victims have rejected the rapper’s offer.

The Houston native lawyered up with elite lawyers as hundreds of lawsuits have been trickling in since the tragedy.

Travis, Live Nation and festival organizers are facing more than 250 lawsuits, which represent more than 850 separate people who say they were injured or lost loved ones, and are seeking billions in total damages. One lawsuit alone is seeking over $750 million.
