Travis Scott is being slapped left and right with legal papers as fans are blaming him for the injures they suffered at Astroworld, with many more lawsuits expected to be filed this week.
According to court documents obtained by Radar, the 30-year-old rapper, Live Nation, and the organizers of Astroworld have been hit with a total of 8 lawsuits.
Over the weekend, Scott held his annual music festival in Houston but the event turned tragic. 8 people died after a stampede took place. Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend is accused of refusing to listen to security concerns before the show.
