King of the throne? Eh, maybe.

Watch out Jay and 'Ye, you've just been de-throned by trap rapper turned riot inciter Travis Scott.

During the Oklahoma City leg of the Houston rapper's Birds Eye Tour on Friday, Scott performed "goosebumps," the brooding, bass-heavy banger from his album Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, a whopping 14 times.

Now aside from being extraordinarily bold and unusual, the sheer act of performing this mini-concert within a concert allowed Scott to set a new world record for the most times a single song has been performed by an artist during a concert.

The previous record holders? The dynamic Watch the Throne duo Kanye West and Jay Z.

In the below video you can hear Travis sounding like a literal broken record as he achieves his record breaking moment.

Back in 2012, Kanye and Jay set the record after performing their hit song "Niggas In Paris" 12 times in a row, in Paris, naturally. The performance was also apparently dubbed the most lit thing in the lit-osphere by those who were lucky enough to see it, or so we’ve heard.

Yo Travis, we're really happy for you, and we're going to let you finish — but with Kanye and Jay Z's friendship on the rocks, it's sad to think the two don't even share this incredibly important title together anymore.

*sigh*

Welp, that's what happens when you take your eyes off the throne, I suppose.

Though Scott was recently arrested for inciting a riot while performing in Arkansas, he dropped three new tracks on his SoundCloud yesterday, so he doesn't seem to be slowing his crown-toppling pace any time soon.
