Travis Scott is shielding his young children from artificial intelligence to ensure they develop strong critical thinking skills first. In his February 2026 Rolling Stone cover story, the 34-year-old rapper explained that he bans AI tools for his daughter, Stormi Webster, who turns 8 next month, and his son, Aire Webster, who turns 4 in February. He believes early reliance on AI could limit their brain’s natural growth, stating that kids must master real-world learning before using technology to avoid losing the ability to judge right from wrong.
Scott shares Stormi and Aire with his ex-partner, Kylie Jenner, with whom he maintains a committed co-parenting relationship despite their romantic split in early 2023. The children primarily live with Jenner, who is currently in a long-term relationship with actor Timothée Chalamet. Scott, who appears to be single and keeping his personal life private, has long emphasized hands-on experiences for his kids, from limiting screens since Stormi’s early years to recently taking Aire to Disney’s Imagineering lab, where the boy’s curiosity exploded around robots and innovative tech.
Fatherhood remains a grounding force for Scott, who told the magazine that having children changed everything, making reckless behavior off-limits. His protective stance on AI aligns with broader comments he’s made over the years about keeping kids engaged in the physical world rather than digital shortcuts. Fans praised the remarks online, with viral posts racking up tens of thousands of likes and comments celebrating his thoughtful parenting approach.
Professionally, Scott is deep into his next chapter following the massive success of 2023’s Utopia album and its accompanying Circus Maximus Tour, which became the highest-grossing rap tour ever with over $250 million earned. He recently oversaw the release of Cactus Jack’s Jackboys 2 compilation, and now he’s teasing a highly ambitious solo project designed for stadiums, promising fresh rhythms and euphoric scale while hinting that new music will arrive soon to “feed the kids.” This forward momentum underscores why many view him as a defining force in modern hip-hop.
Scott’s balanced perspective on technology, family, and creativity offers a refreshing take from someone constantly innovating in music.
