Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott could be removed from the next issue of W Magazine.
Travis – who shares daughter Stormi and is expecting another baby with Kylie – was performing when 10 people died and hundreds were injured at his Astroworld festival.
W magazine reportedly featured a large interview of the two in the issue and the edition was shot and printed ahead of the November 5 concert.
Page Six claims the magazines had not yet shipped, prompting the publication to try to recall the magazine before it hit shelves.
It is understood that the edit has been dropped out of respect for the victims and their families.
“W editors removed any planned coverage of Travis and Kylie from their website, but the magazine was already in print, and now they’re trying to stop the delivery trucks,” a source told the publication.
“In light of what happened at Astroworld, the interview and the cover lines seem inappropriate to say the least.”
Sources close to the situation said everyone involved agreed not to focus on this coverage out of sensitivity to the situation and to allow families to grieve. The cover was shot in October.
The Mirror has engaged representatives for Travis and Kylie for comment.

The weekend festival – postponed the previous year due to the pandemic – drew 50,000 music fans to the rapper’s hometown of Houston, Texas.
However, a wave of crowds resulted in 10 tragic deaths and hundreds of injuries.
Travis later said he would cover the victims’ funeral expenses.
A statement released by a representative for Travis said, “Travis Scott will cover all funeral expenses and provide additional assistance to those affected by the November 5 tragedy at the Astroworld Festival.”
Following the tragedy, Travis spoke out via social media saying he was “absolutely devastated” and his “prayers go out to the families and everyone affected by what happened”.
He continued, “Houston PD has my full support as they continue to address the tragic loss of life. I am committed to working with the Houston community to heal and support families in need.
“Thank you to the Houston PD, Fire Department and NRG Park for their immediate response and support.”
His partner Kylie was also at the concert and released a statement saying neither she nor Travis knew what was going on in the crowd during the performance.
His statement, which was posted to his Instagram Stories, read, “Travis and I are broken and devastated. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those who lost their lives, were injured or affected in any way by yesterday’s events.
“And also, for Travis who I know cares deeply about his fans in the Houston community.
“I want to make it clear that we weren’t aware of any deaths until the news came out after the show and in no world would we have continued filming or playing.
“I send my deepest condolences to all the families at this difficult time and will pray for the healing of everyone affected.”
