Travis Scott continued his Cactus Jack Gardens initiative, and he’s honoring his grandmothers with their 11th garden planted.
La Flame — alongside Miss Sealie Flood (maternal grandmother), Bernice Webster (paternal grandmother) and Highland Heights Elementary School students — unveiled the Sealie Flood + Bernice Webster Corner garden on Wednesday (Feb. 19). The garden will provide food for food-insecure youth across the Houston area. Students also planted a tree to honor both of Scott’s grandmothers.

Travis has referenced his grandma on tracks in the past such as Rodeo hit “90210.” “My granny called, she said, ‘Travvy, you work too hard. I’m worried you forget about me’/ I’m fallin’ in and out of clouds/ Don’t worry, I’ma get it, Granny,” he raps on the 2015 track.
February’s been a month of giving back to Scott and Cactus Jack. The Cactus Jack Foundation partnered with the Fashion Scholarship Fund to launch the Cactus Jack Design Ethos 101 Program, which is an online program that will award students with $10,000 and mentorship.
Scott also hosted his annual Cactus Jack HBCU Softball Classic at Daikin Park in Houston last week, which was a star-studded affair attended by Tyla, Swae Lee, Metro Boomin, Teyana Taylor, Mariah the Scientist, BIA and more.
On the music side, Scott notched his fifth No. 1 hit atop the Billboard Hot 100 with “4×4” to kick off February, and he’s headed to headline Coachella in April.
“When I was coming up, people always looked at me [strangely],” Scott told Billboard in his February cover story. “I don’t know. I’d always hear a little s–t of ‘Is it rap? Is it this? Is it just a vibe?’ I’m pushing hip-hop. It’s 50 years old, but still has time to stretch. I feel like, ‘OK, I’m leading the new charge of what the next 50 years of this s–t is going to be like.’”
