Travis Scott Opens Up About The Astroworld Incident
“It really hurts,” he said. “It hurts the community, it hurts the city.
It’s a lot of feelings, a lot of grieving.”
He denied initially knowing concertgoers had been hurt, saying he “didn’t know the exact details until minutes before the press conference,” after he performed.
He said that people pass out at concerts but something like that was out of this world.
According to Travis Scott, his visibility from the stage was limited, while he was performing, but he acted upon the things that he saw.
Travis Scott said that “Anytime I could see anything like that, I did, I stopped it a couple of times to just make sure everybody was OK.”
Scott spoke about the raging culture that was famous in his concerts and was the reason behind the injuries and the death, as blamed by some. He said that “raging” was about letting go and having some fun.
More than 140 lawsuits had been filed after the Astroworld incident and many of the attorneys of the victims had spoken against Travis Scott’s remarks.
