In 2012, Scott signed a publishing deal with Kanye West’s GOOD Music and his first major label deal with Epic Records. In April 2013, he agreed to a combined recording contract with Epic and TI’s Grand Hustle label. The mixtape Owl Pharaoh, Scott’s first full-length album, was released independently in 2013.

The compilation album JackBoys, which Scott’s label Cactus Jack Records released in late 2019, peaked on the Billboard 200.

The Travis Scott, a limited-edition dish that debuted at participating McDonald’s restaurants in North America in September 2020, was created in collaboration with McDonald’s Scott and is a twist on the Quarter Pounder with cheese.
Since McDonald’s introduced the “McJordan” hamburger to the Chicago metropolitan area in 1992, the relationship marked the first time in the history of the fast food industry that a celebrity meal was offered nationally.
Due to high demand, some McDonald’s stores ran out of promotional ingredients, disrupting the supply chain. Alongside the launch of the merchandise line, Scott and McDonald’s also launched a clothing line, a rug and a body pillow featuring the McDonald’s and Cactus Jack logos.
This gave rise to the celebrity restaurant trend, which BTS and Saweetie later emulated. In fall 2021, the concept was introduced to Europe, with Spanish singer Aitana becoming the first artist from that continent to get her own McDonald’s meal.
