On Friday (August 3), Travis Scott released his third solo album Astroworld. Its release was promoted with gold, oversized Scott heads popping up in various places, including Amoeba Music in Hollywood. When the cover art for Astroworld was released with the recognizable golden head, it all made sense.
After the cover art debuted, transgender model Amanda Lepore noticed she was removed from the final cut, which was shot by photographer David LaChappelle. This spurred accusations of Scott being transphobic. However, he wasn’t the reason Lepore was removed. LaChappelle reps revealed Scott wasn’t even aware of the album cover’s original version. Girlfriend Kylie Jenner also posted the album promo.
