Known for dropping sonic fire like 'Astroworld,' shaking stadiums with wild performances, and rocking a fashion game that blends hood cool with haute couture, Scott has also kept tabs, turning with his past link to Kylie Jenner. Somehow, he keeps riding the wave of fame like a pro surfer in designer shades.
