Things are looking up for Travis Scott, who recently welcomed a newborn daughter and had a case for inciting a riot dropped.

Scott was arrested May 2017 after fans rushed the stage during his show at the Walmart Arkansas Music Pavilion in Rogers, Ark. The incident injured several concertgoers, plus a police officer and a security guard, according to TMZ.

Scott struck a deal with Rogers District Court in Arkansas, in which he pleaded guilty to a count of disorderly conduct in exchange for having the charges against him for inciting a riot and endangering a minor dropped.

This is obviously good news for the rapper and new father, who is booked for Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival and Governors Ball later this year. Scott completed a run of shows in 2017, many of which sold out or were close to selling out. In fact, his highest solo show reported to Pollstar last year was the night the incident occurred, with Scott selling 9,280 tickets and raking in $241,131.

Other highlights include shows at Stage AE in Pittsburgh, which sold 4,500 tickets and grossed $178,003 and Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, Calif., which moved 3,926 tickets and grossed 192,374 tickets.
