Travis Scott performed at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night (May 15), and fans had a lot to say about it. The dad-of-two was seen dancing with a bikini-clad lady as both Kylie Jenner and Stormi watched on.

The 31-year-old rapper performed his new song 'Mafia' and 'Lost Forever' at the ceremony, making it his first television performance since the Astroworld tragedy. He was accompanied on the red carpet by his partner Jenner, 24, and their four-year-old daughter Stormi.

The 'SICKO MODE' star dressed in an all-white outfit, consisting of a long-sleeved shirt, puffy jacket, and bold sunglasses. During his performance, he was joined by dancers and models.

Scott could then be seen approaching a model in a white bikini, fur jacket, and icy makeup. He placed his head on her chest, while rapping as she caressed him.

A clip of the performance was shared on Reddit, and users couldn't help but weigh in with their opinions on the rapper's "flirtatious" interaction with the model.

One user pointed out that his girlfriend and daughter were watching: "Unnecessary lol, especially when your partner and child are in the room."

Another commented: "Performance or not that’s more attention he gave her than Kylie the whole night."

A third chimed in on whether the gesture was needed: "I completely understand that it’s a performance and all. I’m just saying it was unnecessary because it contributed nothing to the performance or the story lol. If it played a significant part in the performance, then fine. It just didn’t need to happen especially if it could potentially make your lady uncomfy."

It was revealed on Instagram on Monday that BBMAs host Sean "Diddy" Combs, 52, was responsible for getting Scott the performance slot.

"This just in," Diddy said in the video. "For the Billboard Music Awards this Sunday I made a request; I made a demand. I said, 'My brother Travis Scott has to perform. I'm executive producing, he has to perform,' and NBC said, 'Yes.' It's going down Sunday, Travis Scott will be performing…now that's love."

Prior to his Billboards performance, Scott got on stage last week in Miami to perform with Migos' Quavo during the Miami Grand Prix weekend.

The event took place just two days after the six-month anniversary of the tragedy in Houston.
