Travis Scott Refuses To Talk About Politics

In an interview with Nas for Playboy’s Spring 2019 #TheSpeechIssue, Travis Scott says he does not talk about politics because he fears being misinterpreted.

“Sometimes you just don’t want to speak too much on stuff you don’t know much about. It’s not like I’m not thinking about what’s going on in the world. I’m an expressive artist but with the media it gets misconstrued.”

“I wouldn’t say I don’t feel compelled to speak on political issues; sometimes you just don’t want to speak too much on stuff you don’t know much about. It’s not like I’m not thinking about what’s going on in the world. I’m an expressive artist, but with media and shit, it gets misconstrued. As I’m sitting with you right now, I’m still figuring this out, you know?” @travisscott for Playboy’s #TheSpeechIssue, on newsstands now. Photo: @rayscorruptedmind

One can only assume his fear stems from what he has seen happen to Kanye West in the media.
