Travis Scott ASTROWOLRD- trailer

Travis Scott has released his highly anticipated third album ASTROWORLD, and fans seem convinced that it was worth the wait.

The rapper's new project has 17 tracks, including the previously released "Butterfly Effect". It boasts guest appearances and contributions from the likes of The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, Thundercat, Drake, Swae Lee, James Blake, Pharrell and Tame Imapala.

ASTROWORLD's release was marred by controversy surrounding his album artwork, which was changed - apparently last minute - to remove iconic trans model Amanda Lepore from the cover.

Shot by renowned photographer David LaChapelle, models were featured in various poses in front of a giant blow-up replica of Scott's head. However, the cover version posted on Scott's own Instagram to announce the album omitted Lepore.

While fans expressed their outrage and accused Scott of transphobia, Lepore seemed more lighthearted and commented on her own Instagram: "A girl can't help it! Too distracting for the eyes! Upstaged everyone in the photograph! Oh well... I love @david_lachapelle and @travisscott!"
