Travis Scott became the first artist to pay tribute to Aretha Franklin at the MTV Video Music Awards 2018, before delivering it with a side of shade for Nicki Minaj.

During the ceremony, Travis performed Sicko Mode before concluding his performance with a dedication to the late Aretha Franklin.
Taking to the stage, Travis said: RIP the Queen Of Soul Aretha Franklin.
