Fortnite removed Travis Scott emote after the rapper's tragic concert at the Astroworld Festival

Did fortnite remove travis scott - The “Out West” emote has been removed from the daily section of the Fortnite Item Shop. Although Epic Games have not yet provided a specific explanation, the disappearance of that emote not only coincides with the complete elimination of the daily section of the Fortnite item store, but also occurred days after the tragedy of the Astroworld Festival.

In that sense, it should be noted that the emote "Out West" includes a song by Travis Scott, the rapper who was not only performing but was also one of the organizers of the festival whose development became a real tragedy after For reasons that are still being investigated, the crowd began to crowd, generating a dangerous situation that culminated in 8 people killed, more than 300 injured.

Therefore, although those responsible for Fortnite have only recognized the elimination of the section of the store where that emote appeared, all the conjectures indicate that this would be a move to distance the game from Scott. In fact, from Eurogamer they suggest that it is very likely that Epic Games will bet on including the emote “Out West” in that section of the Fortnite store regarding Astroworld and will later choose to remove it due to the fatal consequences of the event.

“The 'Daily' section of the Item Shop is known to have been deactivated. This is intentional and the 'Daily' section will return with the next Item Shop update, ”the official Fortnite Status account noted.
For now, it is not clear what will happen with this gesture in the future and there is no official background regarding what will happen to the rest of the Fortnite articles linked to Scott. Remember that last year the rapper held a virtual concert in the game and on the occasion of that instance Epic released several cosmetics and objects that are now generating controversy among some players in the context of the Astroworld Festival tragedy.
