Travis Scott’s Spiked Seltzer Discontinued After Astroworld Tragedy
Anheuser-Busch announced plans on Friday (Dec. 10) to stop distributing Travis Scott’s spiked seltzers after less than a year, and comes just weeks after the Astroworld tragedy.
Social media accounts for CACTI Agave Spiked Seltzer have also been removed.
"After careful evaluation, we have decided to stop all production and brand development of,” a spokesperson for his former distribution partner said in a statement, according to AdAge. We believe brand fans will understand and respect this decision.”
UpRoxx reports that when asked if the decision was in relation to the Astroworld Festival event last month that eventually left 10 people dead and hundreds injured, the spokesperson declined to comment.
When the product launched back in March, Scott told PEOPLE: "It's been really rewarding building out the CACTI brand over the past year, not only with the physical product on shelves but being able to exercise my creativity with something like this visual is super important to me."
Scott spoke with Charlamagne Tha God on Thursday (Dec. 9) for his first post-festival interview and discussed what happened from his point of view.
"It wasn't really until minutes until the press conference until I figured out what happened," he said. "Even after the show, you know, you're just kind of hearing things, which I didn't know the exact details until, you know, minutes before the press conference. And even at that moment you're kind of just like, 'Wait, what?' You know, you just went through something."
