Just a few days ago, rapper Travis Scott (@trvisXX) deleted his Instagram following extensive negative comments about his Halloween costume. Although he tends to keep a low profile on social media, Scott decided to show off his costume on Instagram. Fans immediately started trolling him for his chocolate brown Batman costume. Many claimed he looked like some type of bug instead of a superhero. The ‘Astroworld’ star has finally cleared the air and come out with the real reason why he deleted his Instagram.

Apparently, Scott was unbothered by the insults of his costume and wanted to spend more time with his family. The 29-year-old rapper chose to delete the app from his phone so that he could “stop being consumed with social media”, he told sources.

An insider told Page Six (@pagesix) that Scott wants to focus on his family’s well-being during “such a critical time in the world right now”. With the coronavirus pandemic and the US presidential election going on, Scott urges his fans to take a step back from social media like he has. He and Kylie Jenner (@kyliejenner) have been raising their two-year-old Stormi together. Sources claim they have been “co-parenting amazingly”. Although they are no longer in a relationship, they love spending time together with Stormi.

Sources say the Houston rapper is a very “hands on, engaged dad and always wants to make Stormi smile.” Although he and mother Kylie are not together, they enjoy secret dinner dates out of the public eye. In early October, they celebrated pumpkin carving day with Stormi. They also got together for her first day of online learning.
