Travis Scott is keeping his head high despite having ten Grammy nominations and no wins, a record that would frustrate many artists. The Utopia hitmaker, known for blending rap, hip-hop, and experimental sounds, is confident that his time at the top of the Recording Academy’s list will eventually come.
His optimism comes right on time, as the 2026 Grammy nominations were announced on November 7. While Travis Scott didn’t take home any awards in past years, he continues to dominate charts, sell out arenas, and shape the sound of modern hip-hop. In a genre often fueled by competition and resilience, his words are more than hope; they’re a statement of faith in his art.
For years, fans have voiced frustration over the lack of Grammy recognition for Travis. His albums Astroworld and Utopia both earned critical acclaim and multiple nominations, including Best Rap Album, but not a single trophy. This long-running snub hasn’t discouraged him, though; it’s only motivated him to aim higher.
“This will change for me one day,” says Travis Scott
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Travis Scott responded to Hip Hop All Day’s list of major rap and hip-hop artists who have never won a Grammy, including Nicki Minaj, Tupac, DMX, and Playboi Carti. His response was simple yet powerful: "This will change for me one day. (Just) wait.”
The post quickly went viral, with fans flooding the comments in support of the rapper. It’s clear that the culture believes in his impact, both sonically and artistically.

Travis also used his 2024 Grammy performance as a moment to express his emotions. Performing his hit “FE!N” alongside Playboi Carti, he turned frustration into passion, delivering one of the most talked-about moments of the night. The performance was raw, full of energy, and reflected his hunger for recognition.
A future Grammy win could redefine his legacy
Travis Scott’s music has reshaped the landscape of modern rap and hip-hop, pushing creative boundaries through production and live performance. His collaboration with artists like Playboi Carti and his ability to blend trap with cinematic energy have set him apart.
Even without a Grammy, Travis has already built a legacy that most artists dream of. But for La Flame, it’s not about ego; it’s about earning respect from the same institution that’s celebrated the legends who came before him.
And if his confidence is anything to go by, fans should “just wait.” His next chapter might finally be the one that changes everything.
