’Predictable & Preventable Tragedy’: Travis Scott & Drake Sued For Astroworld Stampede
Eight people died in the chaos at Friday’s Astraworld festival, in which, according to media reports, Scott played a large part by inciting fans
to rush the stage and ignoring calls to stop the concert as ambulances were already at the scene trying to remove the injured from the area.
At least one injured concertgoer has
filed a lawsuit against rapper
Travis Scott, organizer ScoreMore and Live Nation, but also rapper
Drake, who was invited to his show as a special guest, claiming they
bear full responsibility for a tragedy that could have been prevented.
In the lawsuit, the attendee, Manuel Souza, claims that the incident, which he called a “predictable and preventable tragedy,” was the result of “a
motivation for profit at the expense of concertgoers’ health and safety” and the “
encouragement of violence.“
