Travis Scott thanked the Billboard Music Awards Wednesday, days after he performed for the first time on television in the wake of last fall's tragedy at the Astroworld festival when a crowd surge left 10 people dead.

'Thank u BB awards for letting us move mountains,' the Houston native, 31, captioned a shot of himself while performing at the event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

At the award show, the Grammy-nominated artist, whose real name is Jacques Webster, performed his song Mafia with the stage dressed up to reflect a wintry polar theme, along with backup dancers. 

He later performed the track Lost Forever in front of a black and white background prior to moving the camera to face the crowd at the venue.

The Escape Plan artist did not refer to the Astroworld festival in his set amid ongoing legal battles linked to the ill-fated November 5, 2021 incident at Houston's NRG Park.

Diddy, who was host and executive producer of Sunday's event, told Billboard last week that his mission was 'un-canceling the canceled' in having Scott perform as well as country singer Morgan Wallen, who was caught using a racial slur on camera last year.

'As a musical family, none of us are saints; none of us are without things that happen to them in life,' Diddy said. 'That’s breaking news because people haven’t been about uncanceling. But canceling is a trend that needs to stop.
