Rapper Travis Scott accused of 'Transphobia' after cutting transgender model from his Album Art

Rapper Travis Scott the father of Kylie Jenner’s baby has caused a controversy online following the release of his new album art.



On Tuesday, the 26 -year-old posted the album cover for “Astroworld,” album depicting an X-rated amusement park with half-naked models.

Later, Amanda Lepore, a New York nightlife fixture and transgender icon, posted the same pic — but with her in it.


“It was great being part of [LaChapelle’s] incredible photograph of [Scott’s] album cover but I’m curious why I’m not on the picture [Scott] posted.”

David LaChapelle, the celebrity photographer who shot it later responded to Lepore's questioning of why she wasn't in Travis's version, with him writing back, "because you were a bad bad girl lol it's not for any other reason ....."

One user wrote on Twitter: “seeing huge artists like travis scott be openly transphobic is SO disappointing… we’ve made progress but we still have a long way to go.”
