On the Billboard Hot 100 list, its popular single “Sicko Mode” became Scott’s first number-one single.

In addition to his work in music, Scott has established himself in the fashion industry through partnerships with well-known companies like Nike and a brief association with McDonald’s that featured a unique meal and merchandise.

Early Years and Start of a Career
