Travis Scott was almost knocked off the stage while performing in New York this week.
The 32-year-old rapper was belting out hits at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Tuesday when an enormous, head-shaped prop swung towards the dad-of-two.
Footage of the moment made for heart-pounding watching as the huge head inched towards an unsuspecting Travis before hitting him in the back.
Luckily, Travis’ spidey senses were tingling and he swiftly hopped down to one of the stage’s lower levels without tumbling into the audience.
Footage obtained by TMZ then showed the hitmaker, who shares his kids with ex Kylie Jenner, calling a technician onto the stage.
The pair exchanged a few inaudible words before the technician dashed off stage.

If the prop had sent Travis flying, it wouldn’t be the first time disaster’s struck in recent days.
On Friday, Travis was forced to cancel his Chicago show because of a serious flight delay.

He’d been due to bring his Utopia Circus Maximus tour to Chicago’s United Center but had to postpone after his plane was stuck on a runway for ‘24 hours’.
He wrote on X, formerly Twitter: ‘I literally spent 24 hrs on a runway. Craziest [thing] ever.’
