Kanye shared a screen grab of an article featuring a quote Billie gave during an interview.
Asked about stopping a recent performance of her own in Atlanta after noticing a fan appeared to be struggling to breathe, the singer said: “I wait for people to be ok before I keep going.”
Kanye, 44, came to Travis’ defense after the comments, which appeared to be aimed at the rapper.
He demanded an apology on Travis’ behalf, saying: “COME ON BILLIE WE LOVE YOU PLEASE APOLOGIZE TO TRAV AND TO THE FAMILIES OF THE PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES NO ONE INTENDED THIS TO HAPPEN
The Donda rapper continued: “TRAV DIDN’T HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING WHEN HE WAS ON STAGE AND WAS VERY HURT BY WHAT HAPPENED.
Referencing his upcoming Coachella performance, Kanye said: “AND YES TRAV WILL BE WITH ME AT COACHELLA BUT NOW I NEED BILLIE TO APOLOGIZE BEFORE I PERFORM.”

Billie has not responded to Kanye’s social media post, but Travis “liked” it.
STILL TIGHT
Kanye’s reveal that he will be bringing Travis on stage at Coachella comes amid reports that Kylie ordered her baby daddy to cut ties with the Chicago native.
The rumors began swirling after Kanye launched a series of attacks against ex-wife Kim Kardashian online.
He accused her of “kidnapping” daughter Chicago, forcing him to submit to drug testing, and stealing while visiting the home they once shared to play with their kids.
Kanye also claimed Kim accused him of having a “hit” taken out on her.
He has since deleted all the Instagram posts, but rumors continue to swirl.
An insider alleged: “Travis got into a lot of trouble for being the one who gave Kanye the birthday party details,” referencing Chicago’s birthday, which Kanye said he wasn’t initially invited to.
The source went on: “Kim personally had a sit down with Travis and Kylie has made it clear that he needs to cut ties.
“His loyalty should lie with the family – and he’s all too aware of what has gone down between Kanye and the family.”
In an Instagram Live rant, Kanye claimed he was fuming mad that Kim was refusing to give him details about their daughter’s birthday.
Hours later, however, he was at the party – crediting Travis with letting him know where it was being held.
Kanye said at the time: “I just gotta shout out to Travis Scott for sending me the address with the time and making sure that I was able to spend the birthday memory with my daughter.”
Early this month, Travis and Kylie welcomed their second child, a baby boy. The duo are also parents to four-year-old Stormi.
KANYE’S CLAIMS
Last weekend, Kanye stepped up his verbal attacks against his estranged wife.
Posting a screenshot of a text message of himself asking for Kim’s phone number, Kanye wrote: “YESTERDAY KIM ACCUSED ME OF PUTTING A HIT OUT ON HER.”
He went on, saying he wanted to “get this straight,” writing: “I BEG TO GO TO MY DAUGHTERS PARTY AND IM ACCUSED OF BEING ON DRUGS THEN I GO PLAY WITH MY SON AND I TAKE MY AKIRA GRAPHIC NOVELS AND IM ACCUSED OF STEALING.”
The post continued: “NOW IM BEING ACCUSED OF PUTTING A HIT ON HER THESE IDEAS CAN ACTUALLY GET SOMEONE LOCKED UP THEY PLAY LIKE THAT WITH BLACK MEN’S LIVES WHETHER IT’S GETTING THEM FREE OR GETTING THEM LOCKED UP.”
Kanye ended his rant: “IM NOT PLAYING ABOUT MY BLACK CHILDREN ANYMORE.”
Several members of Kim’s famous family then unfollowed the rapper on Instagram.
KIM RESPONDS
Kim hit back with a statement, saying: “Kanye’s constant attacks on me in interviews and on social media is actually more hurtful than any TikTok North might create.
“As the parent who is the main provider and caregiver for our children, I am doing my best to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium that she wishes with adult supervision because it brings her so much happiness.”
She went on: “Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanye’s obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all.
“From the beginning, I have wanted nothing but a healthy and supportive co-parenting relationship because it is what is best for our children.
“And it saddens me that Kanye continues to make it impossible every step of the way.”
The star concluded her lengthy message: “I wish to handle all matters regarding our children privately and hopefully he can finally respond to the third attorney he has had in the last year to resolve any issues amicably.”
She did not address Kanye again after that.
Kim and Kanye share four children: North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, four and Psalm, two.
The KKW Beauty mogul filed for divorce in February 2021.
