Travis Scott has agreed to cover the funeral expenses for the fans who lost their life at Astroworld over the weekend.
Sources close to Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend claim he will be coughing up his own money to help the families impacted. He claims to be ready to provide in any way for the relatives of the 8 people who died.
He will also be providing mental health treatment for anyone who attended the show and needs to talk to someone. His decision to step up comes as the backlash against him continues to grow.
Fans are furious with Scott and are pointing the finger at him and organizers for not providing enough security for Astroworld. The rapper has already been hit with a total of 8 lawsuits by injured fans.
In one lawsuit, a fan called the entire incident a "preventable tragedy" and blamed Scott for his injuries. Drake was also named in a couple of lawsuits and was accused of getting the crowd riled up before a stampede went down.
Famed attorney Ben Crump is even representing a bunch of the victims.
