Travis Scott’s Coachella Comeback Cost Goldenvoice An Extra $20,000
When Travis Scott returned to the Coachella stage in 2025, it was far from a routine appearance. After a sustained absence since his show-stopping appearance in 2017, where he brought out Kendrick Lamar and had the audience electrified, La Flame’s return this year didn’t reach its usual highs. Though his name still loomed large, his 2017 magic was nowhere to be found this time around, and the festival organizers, Goldenvoice, paid the price. Scott’s return was no average homecoming. Over the last eight years, the Houston rapper has leveled up from a breakout to an international phenom on a tier with titans like Drake and Kendrick Lamar. But his reputation today is tarnished by a string of controversies and a change in the public mood.
Bridging peak times to the fall of the ASTROWORLD, his has been a career rollercoaster. The performance itself left a lot of people wondering if Scott’s comet-like star power will sustain him through a festival set in 2025. The superstar, who is one of the most well known across the world, was a bit of a damp squib, compared to the energy he usually exudes on stage. Once a mystery figure, Travis Scott has dimmed some of that magic, and this Coachella set was perhaps a reminder of just how many questions linger around him. Yet the new sum associated with him is one for the record books. That’s because Goldenvoice wound up paying an additional $20,000 in total because of Scott’s timing for his performance and the logistics of pulling it off.

This added cost is no small concern for a festival that dies by its punctuality. Time is of the essence when it comes to the world of music festivals and those additional minutes translated into accrued extra charges. Although Scott’s Coachella performance didn’t exactly deliver on the hype, the cost of his set offers proof that, when it comes to failed promises, La Flame still burns as rubber. It’s hard to tell whether it’s a reflection of the culture or a temporary blip on his career radar. Travis Scott delivered one hell of a comeback at Coachella, and it’s fair to say that Goldenvoice paid quite handsomely to make that happen.

Snoop Dogg Wants To Pay Someone $10,000 A Month To Eat Ice Cream
Snoop Dogg has had a lot of job titles over the years, but “official ice cream taster” wasn’t one of them until now — and he’s hiring someone else to fill it. His company Dr. Bombay just opened applications for the role, and it pays $10,000 a month.
The gig is fully remote and open to anyone on the planet, which Snoop announced himself in a video that’s exactly as laid-back as you’d expect. “I love the paper, but not the paperwork,” he said, explaining that HR firm Deel is handling the logistics while he handles, presumably, the ice cream.
The actual job is less “sit around and eat pints all day” and more part-time cultural scout. Whoever gets it will track flavor and food trends around the world, report back on what people are eating and talking about, and work directly with Dr. Bombay’s in-house flavor lead to help shape what the brand does next. It’s a three-month contractor role, and Snoop’s team says they’re actively looking outside the usual resume pile — creators and non-traditional applicants welcome.
Dr. Bombay itself leans nostalgic, with flavors like Long Beach Fruit Cart, Sticky Caramel Apple Pie, and Peanut Butter Jelly Time already sitting on shelves at Walmart and moving through DoorDash and Instacart. Somewhere out there is one very lucky applicant about to get paid five figures a month to have opinions about ice cream, and honestly, good for them.
