Before Astroworld, Travis Scott revamped a Sunnyside basketball court. Now, nearly every trace of him is gone.

Just two days before the deadly Astroworld Festival, Houston rapper Travis Scott held a basketball clinic for fifth-graders as part of the unveiling of a new outdoor basketball court at the Sunnyside Community Center in south Houston. But days after the tragedy, nearly every trace of Scott, whose legal name is Jacques Bermon Webster II, has been removed from the basketball court he helped renovate in the historically Black neighborhood he hails from. Bright green columns surrounding the court have had their metal cactus-arms removed; large white block lettering "WISH YOU WERE HERE" that once dotted the top of the canopy has disappeared. (WISH YOU WERE HERE was the name of Scott's third concert tour launched by his 2018 Astroworld album). The center of the court reads "SUNNYSIDE" and the rapper's name and that of his nonprofit, the Cactus Jack Foundation, are nowhere to be found.

The only inkling left of Scott is the tan-and-brown cactus drawings that line each corner of the court. Hidden on one of the green columns is a single brown and yellow-colored sticker shaped like Scott's head with handwritten mottos from the rapper, including "Wish you were here;" "Look Mom I can fly," and "let's rage." There are more than 15 trash cans planted around the park but heaps of plastic water bottles and bags surround the court and fresh coats of paint are covered with tracks of mud. "That kinda sucks to be honest," Sunnyside resident Vanessa Hernandez said of the quiet removal of everything Scott. "What happened was unfortunate, but he still did a good thing." On Friday, Hernandez and her dog, Nyah, walked the track at the park in the cool morning air. She loved Scott's last album but was not an ardent fan. It was nice to see the little kids who play basketball every night get a brand new court that's not so run-down, she said. "It's pretty dope he's giving back, especially over here in Sunnyside where it's not always so nice," she said. "It's not like he did anything bad here." It's unclear if the subtle hints at Scott and his nonprofit were meant to be permanent fixtures of the park. A spokesperson for the Houston Parks and Recreation Department declined to answer questions about the recent changes, and instead asked questions be made via a records request.
