On Saturday (November 8), Scott brought his ‘Circus Maximus’ concert to Japan, where he performed a myriad of his biggest hits. Along the way, he also brought out his daughter Stormi to perform ‘THANK GOD’.
One of the biggest surprises of the night came when Travis Scott performed a cover of Kanye West’s ‘Praise God’, before transitioning into Ye’s ‘Runaway’ as Kanye walked out onstage wearing a hoodie and a hockey mask.

Kanye would go on to perform a handful of other iconic tracks with Scott as his hypeman, before taking off the mask. Among the songs he performed were ‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing’, ‘Heartless’ and more.
Later on in the set, Kanye would perform ‘Flashing Lights’, ‘Stronger’, ‘Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1’, ‘Through The Wire’, ‘Carnival’ and ‘All Of The Lights’, the last of which Travis Scott had requested himself while onstage.

‘Heartless’
‘Flashing Lights’
‘Stronger’
‘Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1’
‘Through The Wire’

The performance from Kanye comes shortly after the controversial rapper reportedly met with a prominent New York rabbi called Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto on November 4, and addressed the anti-Semitic tirades he has launched on social media over the past few years.
“I feel really blessed to be able to sit here with you today and just take accountability,” he is heard telling the rabbi. “I was dealing with some various issues of bipolar, so it would take the ideas I had and have me take them to an extreme where I would forget about the protection of the people around me or myself.”
“So I wanted to come and take accountability,” Kanye added. “Sometimes people aren’t that knowledgeable about bipolar and the cause, or what causes it, and the way you act when you have this disease.”
The rabbi, through a translator, then called West a “very good man” and embraced him. Pinto would then share a statement online reading: “A person is not defined by his mistakes, but by the way he chooses to correct them. This is the true strength of man: The ability to return, to learn, and to build bridges of love and peace.”
