The Houston rapper announced he was going to gift supporters $100,000 (£79,000) – all they had to do was tweet the lyrics of their favourite song of the album.
He tweeted: “SO I KNOW ITS HARD FOR THE KIDS SO I DECIDED TO UNLOAD MY BANK ACCOUNT ON U GUYS.
“IM BUSTING DOWN $100,000 AND GIVING AWAY TO ANY FANS THAT CAN TWEET ME THERE CASH TAG WITH LYRICS FROM ASTRO. GANG!!’”
After being inundated with tweets, Travis proved to be a man of his word and began sending fans sums of up to $1000 (£800) through the Cash App.
Among those grateful strangers he helped was a film student, an aspiring Space Force employee, and gave $800 (£600) to a son who was preparing for his mother’s funeral.
