Travis Scott Says He Should Be Dismissed From Astroworld Lawsuits


Travis Scott is seeking to be dismissed from the lawsuits tied to the 2021 Astroworld Festival crowd rush that killed 10 people.

Travis Scott has requested to be dismissed from the ongoing lawsuits tied to the deadly Astroworld crowd rush, according to a motion filed in Houston on Monday, with Scott’s attorneys arguing that he wasn’t in charge of event safety and that “performers are not expected to render special protection to the audience, nor to safeguard them from the rest of the crowd.” Basic tort principles prevent imposing liability on the Scott Defendants for a tragedy arising from forces legally controlled by others.” Houston Police released an extensive 1,266-page report a month later, detailing a disturbing and chaotic scene amidst the tragedy, along with interviews from Scott, his manager David Stromberg, Drake, festival organizers and crew workers.
