The aftermath of the mass stampede at Travis Scott‘s Astroworld Festival is revealing the true extent of the horror that took place at the Houston-based music show.
As reported, multiple attendees died in the melee, with fan and police accounts indicating that there may have been drugging taking place in the audience.
What’s more, it’s now emerged that the youngest person to die was just 14-years-old.
Adding to the complexity of the situation is the critique leveled by some at Scott, who continued with the show. Some say unaware, while others suggest he was in the know.
Whichever side of the fence one is on, the scenes permeating social media are all sorts of shocking.
After issuing a written statement expressing devastation, Scott has released a video echoing similar sentiments.
Watch below:
The rapper again expressed that he is “devastated.”
Expanding, he said:
“I just wanna send out prayers to the ones that was lost last night. We’re actually working now to identify the families so we can help assist them through this tough time.
Addressing the confusion and critique surrounding his continuation of the show, Scott added:
“Any time I can make out anything (negative) that’s going on, I just stop the show and help them get the help they need, you know. I could never just imagine the severity of this situation.”
Per Scott, festival organizers were working with Houston’s police, fire department, and city authority “to get to the bottom” of what transpired. He called on fans to “please just contact your local authorities” in the event they “have any information.”
Concluding, he added:
“I’m honestly just devastated. I could never imagine anything like this happening. I’m (going to) do everything I can to keep you guys updated, just keep you guys informed on what’s going on.”

I’m surprised travis scott could pull such a huge crowd
it was a festy! (festival) ya know..days of all day/all night performers. Not all were their for him
They should’ve hiring more security💅🏿 Cheap ass concert on a budget or something….. those people should’ve go to concert anyways, it’s still pandemic hello, people? Stay home!
*shouldn’t. Sorry Diva was too drunk to type s h I t 💅🏿
FACTS
I know right
14-year-olds listen to him? Only in America. I sentence those “life givers” to parenting rehab. RIP Angel.
You should go take a look at the ASTROWORLD album cover. Then look at the 2021 Lineup poster.
Those two images will tell you all you need to know about Travis and the Kardashian Klan that follows him.
I just read on BET. com that a 9 tear old whose father put his shoulders to try to protect him was trampled by the crowd. The father was knocked down. The boy’s internal organs were damaged.
He is on life support.
Not to judge those parents but I don’t I was surprised to hear that children of those ages would be at a concert
He has died.
LOUCIFER Taylor is his business manager too. She’s f****** evil and so is he. People were screaming at his face telling him people are dying and he did nothing. Devil images on the screens. People injecting people with drugs. Wearing shirts with demons on them passing through a portal and turning into human form. Read between the lines people! There’s clearly SO MUCH MORE to this. It was a sacrifice. Not to mention this isn’t the first time people died at his concert.
Eww! Travis.. Did Kylie’s pu$$ put a bump on ur top lip???
😱😱
God damn he’s repulsive. His music sucks too
Don’t let travis Scott do any more concerts. He doesn’t have the intellect to run a festival. How did he not see this? Then egging on the audience. Put him under a prison
I just read on BET. com about his previous incidents where he intentionally incited crowds to be aggressive.
More black on black crime, when will it end ✊🏿✊🏾
He is literally on camera watching them lofting a dead body and he still on the mic humming or whatever the f*** he does.. he just didn’t expect the back flash.
Did he mention the 14 year old who died?
craziness! I never even heard a this dude til I found out hes a ‘Mr. Kardashian’ w a history of inciting similair things.! #ftravisscott
He knew damn well what was happening. He was on his pedestal with a Birdseye view!
He wanted this chaos. His noise he calls music is hideous.
It was not the first time his depravity inspired this behavior from an unruly mob.
These concerts should be outlawed. But, they generate too much money for these snake oil scumbags.
It does not surprise me the Jenner or Kardashian name was
brought up. They seem to be in every unsavory, trashy scandal.
That idiot who has no idea about entertainment should be banished from the stage.
The gods of entertainment are weeping at the mess of this generation of degenerates.
This violence will continue to happen.
That’s what has become of our nation’s sense of pleasure and tantalizing decorum.
The whole disgusting happening is not a bit surprising, just contemptible.
Laws should be passed to make people accountable. No one has the moral compass to restrict these events.
I think Travis Scott has some accountability because what happend past concerts along with his management,sponsors,security, organizers. Travis had responsibility to tell crowd before concert to be safe and do not get out control because previous events at his last concert. I hope he take time reflect what he promote with his words and action and should consider not doing concerts any more. Becsuse I be surprised if he gets away free from legal problems and lawsuits.
He encouraged people to rush the stage ignore security and show up without a ticket. Then he is on a platform on the stage and didn’t see anything? B S other performance have stopped in the middle of their show to protect their fans
Many other high profile music stars have had their run-ins with fans being hurt and or killed. Some rock concerts had people dying due to general seating meaning nobody had an assigned seat and when you have such a dynamic or a large and in charge group who is well known to pull up a concert people will get squished in the crowd Rush. It doesn’t make it okay but we need to remember to not blame an artist for performing I worked concerts for 10 years of my life and when you’re on stage you don’t necessarily know what’s going on in the audience except their reaction to you there’s enough bright lights and effects in your face that you don’t necessarily see what’s going on. And to top it off the noise of the crowd and everything else. Granted things could have been handled differently. I truly believe that Travis Scott is heartbroken over what happened. It is quite possible that he may not have known what was going on. When you’re performing it’s loud you have thousands of people in a arena making noise,bhe’s singing,nthe sound system is going ….. There may be things that could have been done better or maybe done differently but the blame is not totally on a performer just because he was on the stage or just because some roadie was over off the side of the stage. Peopleeople passed away many people were hurt and that is heartbreaking. But we need to remember that if he truly was just performing and was not aware of what was going on. He could not have prevented or stop things if he was unaware which is totally possible if you’re on a stage. Mr Travis Scott has been known to say hey or stop something to take care of an incident. Regardless of who he’s dating or whether you like or do not like his genre of music he’s not a bad guy.b I haven’t seen much that would show he’s a jerk he’s abusive or anything like that he seems to be a good kid
He has died.
