Travis Scott is tearing into the Houston city officials as everyone is starting to blame the other for the 8 deaths at Astroworld over the weekend.
The rapper’s lawyer, Edwin F. McPherson, released a scathing statement as the backlash against his client continues to grow.
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Scott is accused of being negligent by failing to provide adequate security. The police chief also warned him hours before the show about security concerns.
Scott blew off the concerns and proceeded with his show, which not only ended in multiple deaths but over 300 people were injured. Fans have slapped him and Live Nation with over 20 lawsuits demanding millions in damages.
The police have launched a criminal investigation into the matter. Scott has been criticized for continuing to perform as the fans were being crushed below. His team claims he could not see what was going on and had no idea of the severity of the situation until hours later.
Scott even partied at Dave & Buster’s for an afterparty with Drake as many of his fans were being treated by medical personnel.
