Travis Scott showed Kanye West some “Mercy” on Monday night as the rapper invited the controversial, self-proclaimed “genius” onstage for West’s first performance since his antisemitic rants.
The “Stronger” rapper surprised Scott’s audience at Circus Maximus in Rome, Italy, where the duo performed their 2021 collaboration “Praise God” off of West’s “Donda.”
West, 46, then launched into his classic “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” much to the crowd’s delight, though his backing track did most of the singing as West missed many of the lyrics and Scott screamed over the top of him.
Scott, 32, told the crowd that West is the “only one human being on this mother f–king planet that has ever walked side by side with me through anything and every motherf–king thing.
“There is no ‘Utopia’ without Kanye West,” Scott added, referencing his own new album. “There is no Travis Scott without Kanye West.”
The Post has contacted representatives for West and Scott for comment.
It was West’s first big performance since he made antisemitic comments during his October 2022 appearance on the “Drink Champs” podcast.
Ye showed little remorse over his remarks and even doubled down on them via social media.
“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” West infamously tweeted on Oct. 9, 2022, which got him suspended from the platform.
West continued: “The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”
His remarks seemingly cost him his lucrative Yeezy deal with Adidas — although the company has since started selling his shoes again.
That meant West lost his billionaire status, as a whopping $1.5 billion of his estimated $2 billion fortune was attributed to his relationship with the apparel company.
West’s Yeezy collaboration with Gap also fell through in September.
But the “Heartless” creative has stayed eerily quiet on social media in recent months and has mostly been spotted by photographers around the world with his “wife” Bianca Censori, 28,
Censori even accompanied West to Italy on Monday as the two were caught getting handsy in the Eternal City.
West was notably barefoot while Censori donned another see-through, nipple-baring thong bodysuit as seen through a pair of translucent tights.
Scott has also been the center of controversy after 10 people died and hundreds more were injured from a crowd crush at his Astroworld Festival on Nov. 5, 2021.
He was cleared of any criminal charges from the incident in late June.
