The answer is Travis Scott or Wu-Tang Clan.

Probably more the Wu-Tang Clan than Travis Scott, because there was never a point in time that Travis Scott had a majority white fan base.

Drake and Kanye have universal appeal, so they don't really count.

Yโ€™all are confusing gentrification with mass appeal

Nah wu tang has universal appeal but they donโ€™t pander to white people. They keep it consistent and gutter and stay true to the hood

now Kanye and Travis Scott on the other hand they pander to white people and even gentrified their own offspring

I think thatโ€™s exactly the point. Universal appeal and making songs that resonate with all races out the gate donโ€™t count. But someone like Wu Tang who doesnโ€™t pander to white people, but you mainly see white people at their shows or copping and wearing their merch is the definition of gentrification.

Travis Scott. I say the most diverse would be Spitta. His shows attract blacks, Asians,Hispanics and whites.

The Wu Tang argument is not going to fly because they are for everybody. If anything, the Wu is like a utopia of fans regardless of what color and etc they are. I never see no happy go lucky college cac bumping the Purple Tape.

Now Kanye, that's the fanbase that will turn a record store into a coffee shop off GP.
