Travis Scott to Face Civil Trial as Judge Denies Dismissal From Astroworld Lawsuits
Travis Scott will face civil trial stemming from the Astroworld tragedy after a judge denied the rapper’s bid to be dismissed from the lawsuits.
In March, with a civil trial looming, Scott’s lawyers filed a motion to dismiss the rapper from the pending litigation, arguing that “performers are not expected to render special protection to the audience, nor to safeguard them from the rest of the crowd.” While Astroworld guest Drake was successful in getting dismissed from the civil lawsuits earlier this month, Judge Kristen Hawkins denied Scott’s bid without explanation, Billboard reports. As a result, Scott will be among the defendants — along with Live Nation and other organizers — when the first trial, a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Astroworld victim Madison Dubiski, begins May 6.
