Travis Scott could get off the hook in the wake of the mammoth lawsuits surrounding the Astroworld Festival tragedy on November 5 that claimed the lives of 10 people — at least, financially.
According to a lawyer who spoke with Yahoo Finance, it would be “a stretch” to completely render Scott liable in the suits.
“The law requires him to engage in specific conduct that incited the incidents,” Bryan Sullivan of Early Sullivan Wright Gizer & McRae told the outlet. “What did he do at Astroworld that night? That’s the question the courts will be asking.”
Nick Rozansky, a lawyer at Brutzkus Gubner Rozansky Seror Weber, added most of the onus from the lawsuits would fall on show promoters Live Nation and Scoremore as well as the security company asked to work the event.
“It’s not uncommon for all of the defendants to start suing each other for identity and contribution if they are found liable,” Rozansky said.
Travis Scott & Drake Astroworld Lawsuit Topples $2B
The lawsuits surrounding Astroworld have topped over $2 billion, including a $750 million lawsuit filed by Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee. Buzbee represents 125 victims of the festival and named Scott and Drake in the suit.
Meanwhile, Nike has paused the release of Scott’s Air Max release following the deadly concert and brands are quickly scrambling to do damage control due to their association with the “Highest In The Room” rapper.
He didn’t do anything other than what he normally does at any of his other shows. It’s sad and unfortunate that people lost their lives but to blame Travis Scott for the failings of venue security is nuts. He makes music and everyone else makes money off his music so it’s everyone else’s job to keep shit safe.
That whole show was satanic from the start…
OK Ye, you know your kids cousins.
Jajajajajajajajajaja FR
Bloody Hell it was! Did you see the entrance gate to the festival? This was some straight up ritual, Divine Comedy type shh. Botticelli vision right in front of our eyes… open your eyes ppl!!!
I like the sound of this. Go sue and cancel all the idiots in the crowd who actually caused the deaths. Yall trying to do Travis like they did Trump on Jan 6. But the difference is Trump actually incited the crowd and told them to “fight like hell”. Travis didnt tell the crowd to rush the stage. Bad news for Gen Z though…the price of concerts is surely gonna go up do to the cost of increased insurance, medical personal, and security.
Dick riders haven’t even watched the footage. Good luck contesting that. You have people, pretty much everyone near the stage screaming to stop the music for a half hour on film. To the point fans started to climb on stage to say something. I have been to alot big metal and rock shows and never seen an artist so self enveloped. When they show the footage of him eggin on two fans to fist fight back in 2017 or his Bonnaroo incident the courts are gonna eat him alive.
That’s a flat out lie, and you never went to a rock show in your life,
Too big to fail…
Really, some people so far up celeb”ass like they struck gold.. To the Trump supporters, you do knowTravis is black. Also Kylie kids.lmao. If an attorney fight for justice instead of publicity or backhand deal. He’s not untouchable. If you want his ass to burn, simply remind white people he’s black sleeping with Kylie making black kids
This WHOLE thing is a jackass comment, and YOU KNOW IT.
?
STOP FEEDING THE MONSTER!
This incident has NOTHING to do with race!
you a whole weirdo
He should regardless, if he is a good person (he’s not) go to each of those 10 families and give them a nice hefty lump sum, atleast $1million each. Sorry on Instagram isn’t enough, and paying for some bullshit physiologist is not going to fly. Just go buy his next album! Eat his shit ass burgers and go rock his shoes you fake ass clowns
Your such an immature idiot, this is coming from the ENTORE LEGAL TEAM AT GOOGLE – which is a 3rd party -NON BIASED opinion from a TEAM of lawyers – they don’t have anything IN IT or NOT IN iT to say things are one way or another. Travis Scott already said he’d pay for everything, quit being butt hurt when I’m sure you weren’t even there GOOF! If you wanna be mad at something go be mad at the entire previous case law, or the LAW of your own country, BEARS tHE QUESTION – WAS IT Travis Scotts FULL and SOLE responsibility? Did he tell ALL the Americans to push each other, hurt each other and stomp on each other? No it’s the people who are full of greed and wanting to be closer to fame that THEY wiuld sacrifice their own society members like this? And the fact stands he’s held this exact performance before a number of times and there was NOTHING even close to this that happened. As an individual he’s done everything he CAN – by the way you speak you think JUST BECAUSE he has money he can fix everything with money? MONEY in NO AMMOUNT will bring those poor souls bCk, nor will it take back what’s been done to the other people back. And I’m convinced that anyone would take it back or do more especially when they have the means to do so in hindsight, he’s not TRYING to avoid anything. But YOU just sound RETARDED the way your thinking. If someone killed YOU do you honestly think money is what your family would want? Like oh sorry your sons gone but your rich from a handout? When nobody but society did anything wrong. You want justice. Hold a gofundme page for the dieing and sixk and honestly I’m sure The artists will contribute and EVERYONE AT the concert should give as well, they all know who they are that contributed to this if you wanna be real. THATS JUSTICE- HOLDING SOCIETY RESPINSIBLE FOR WHAT THEY DID AS WELL, NOT JUST POINT THE FINGER AT THE ARTISTS.
Your a little bitch, disrespectful and hateful litte boy. I don’t follow satanic puppets, my idols are not rappers or any musicians obviously your but hurt over what I said over your bitch ass idol. Your right everyone should forget it he did absolutely nothing wrong and a fake sobbing g sorry on Instagram would be more then ideal for the poor souls that past away. Why ask for millions when all he did was rake in millions, he raked in millions while my little daughter got trampled on to death, and he will continue to do more shows in the future… your a fuxki g retarded lite Gen z bitch, go tell the world how your a fsggot and praise your lgbqt bullshit
no one thinks Travis Scott bears sole responsibility but it doesn’t mean he didn’t create the situation that resulted in deaths. Everyone wants to abstract everything and say what they want now. The facts are clear. He billed the show as something that might get rough without taking the proper precautions in case of a crowd emergency. We don’t know if he was presented with certain show options and refused them for whatever financial or creative reason. So it’s very premature to say Mr. Scott bears no responsibility no matter what showbiz lawyers say.
Travis music is great he is too we love him so talented we love his music so much
the most vapid soulless trash music to hit the mainstream ever
Y’all taking advice from a lawyer not even on the case lol L
It’s more like speculation about why might happen from a lawyer familiar with similiar incidents and precedent, but go off bro lol.
