Travis Scott is finally clearing the air about those viral videos that show him seemingly smashing laptops whenever he’s next to a DJ. According to the UTOPIA superstar, the internet hasn’t been getting the full story.
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Travis addressed the compilations circulating online that paint him as someone who wilds out behind the DJ booth. He says many of the moments are misunderstood and taken completely out of context.
“A lot of these times y’all see these videos, I’m walking up to somebody else’s computer, and they’re asking me to do something I don’t want to do in that time,” he explained.
What Actually Goes Down
According to Travis Scott, it’s not about disrespect or rage it’s about bad equipment and the chaotic, energy-filled environment. Travis revealed that many of the laptops he’s handed are already messed up, with broken keys and lagging systems.
“A lot of these fools’ computers are just f***ed up… the Command keys aren’t working,” he said.
He even admitted to replacing one of his “homies computer” after a “turnt” DJ session. For Travis Scott, DJing isn’t about popping out for appearances. It’s about the music, the culture, and the feeling.

“It’s not even, like alcohol or nothing,” he continues. “It’s literally just pure energy. Like no one sees the other side of the camera, like the fans and, you know, people just like going so crazy. And I don’t like being in a club just to stand and pop out. I don’t go to a club to stand and pop out.”
