Travis Scott’s “STOP TRYING TO BE GOD” Explained

Travis Scott has been promoting his new album 'ASTROWORLD 'with a series of giant golden heads that seem meant to evoke an idol or deity, and he decided to continue this theme in his cinematic video for “STOP TRYING TO BE GOD.” Alongside his girlfriend Kylie Jenner, Travis goes on a destructive rampage across the city, raining fire upon its citizens. This doesn’t sit well with God, who decides to teach the rapper a lesson for flying too close to the sun. The entire video is filled with Christian imagery, including sheep, baptism, and a Christian depiction of God.
