Travis Scott ‘loves responsibility’ of being dad’ to Stormi as he reveals daughter is his ‘major inspiration’
Travis Scott has revealed that he loves the responsibility that comes with being a dad to his daughter Stormi.
The rapper, 28, shares daughter Stormi Webster, three, with Kylie Jenner, 23, and is often seen gushing about his little girl while sharing snippets of his family life on social media.
Opening up on fatherhood in a new interview, Travis – real name Jacques Bermon Webster II – credited Stormi for being his ‘major inspiration’ and revealed why his job is now more important than ever.
‘Fatherhood just be like, I don’t live for myself anymore. I was already going so hard for the fans and now, oh man, Stormi, it’s like… I love that,’ Travis told i-D.
Travis revealed that Stormi has not only influenced his music, but has also helped to ‘change his outlook on life’.
He explained: ‘Fatherhood influences my job. It has a huge impact. It’s a major inspiration… Especially Storm, she’s just acting like a kid. She’s always interested, she catches on and learns things and adapts to things so fast. It’s so crazy.
‘Kids show you a different outlook on life, how they view things, the type of pressures they have and what makes them happy, what makes them move… she watches my concerts on YouTube and she realises she’s there, she’s ready to see now.’
Travis said: ‘I realised my job is way more important than what I thought because of her. More responsibility, you know? You’ve got to use that properly.’
The Astroworld artist welcomed daughter Stormi in 2018 with Kylie, but the pair split the following year in October 2019 after two years of dating.
Despite their split, Travis and Kylie have continued to co-parent Stormi together and he is often seen spending time with his daughter and the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star.
So much so, that speculation has been doing the rounds that he and Kylie are dating again.
Neither he or the lip kit mogul have addressed their relationship status, but they did little to shut down rumours and Travis has shared his hopes of reconciling with his baby mumma.
‘He is still hopeful that there’s a chance that they’ll reconcile. They stay in touch and hang out,’ insiders told Us Weekly last year.
Travis has previously said that he’ll always love Kylie and told XXL magazine: ‘I love [Stormi’s] mommy and I always will.’
