Tyla took center stage at Travis Scott’s third annual Cactus Jack HBCU Celebrity Softball Classic, held on February 14 in Houston.
This event was more than just a fun day at the ballpark—it was a vibrant celebration of culture, philanthropy, and community.
Tyla’s Unforgettable Performance
Fans filled the stadium, eager to cheer on their favorite stars while supporting a noble cause.
The softball classic’s main goal was to raise funds for the Waymon Webster Scholarship Fund, a key initiative of Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack Foundation.
The foundation works tirelessly to help students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) overcome financial barriers and complete their education.
This year, Scott’s foundation raised more than R18 million (around $1 million) to support these deserving students, continuing his deep commitment to education.
In many ways, this cause resonates with South Africans, where access to education remains a vital issue for many.
Tyla was part of an all-star lineup that included Teyana Taylor and Mariah the Scientist.
But it was Tyla’s performance that truly stole the show.
Her infectious energy on the field captivated fans, making her a standout star of the day.
Reflecting on the experience, Tyla shared, “I love being part of events that give back to the community,” a sentiment that echoed throughout the event.

The teams, representing various HBCUs like Prairie View A&M and Texas Southern University, brought their A-game.
The energy in the stands was electric as fans rallied behind their teams, creating a sense of unity and pride that reminded many of the spirit found in South African sports events.
Throughout the night, Travis Scott was a visible and active figure.
He engaged with fans, signed autographs, and even posed for pictures. His passion for the event was contagious.
As he stated in a candid moment, “This event is about more than just softball; it’s about uplifting our community.”
It was clear that for Scott, this event was about much more than just competition—it was a chance to make a real impact.
A Fusion of Music and Sport
The event featured not just a thrilling game but also high-energy performances by various artists.
Metro Boomin made a notable appearance, bringing along the WWE’s Smoking Skull Belt as a tribute to his own competitive spirit and the importance of the cause.
The combination of sports and music created an atmosphere that felt like a major South African festival—an electric celebration that kept the crowd buzzing all night.
In addition to the fun and excitement, the night also highlighted inspiring stories of scholarship recipients who benefited from Travis Scott’s foundation.
Their powerful journeys served as reminders of the importance of these events, demonstrating how community support can change lives and inspire future generations.
