    Travis Scott WILL NOT Face Criminal Charges For Astroworld Festival

    A Texas grand jury is considering whether to charge Travis Scott with a crime in connection with the tragic events at Astroworld.

    According to the rapper’s attorney, Kent Schaffer, the Harris County Grand Jury is currently deliberating whether to charge his client for continuing to play at the 2021 event while the audience stampeded, killing 10 people and injuring countless others.

    Rapper Travis won’t be testifying, according to his lawyer, and his team is still optimistic that the jury will find him not guilty. Travis has insisted from the start that he was unaware of the rush, and he cites the fact that several police officials in the audience who were in charge of the fans’ safety were also illiterate.

    In fact, you can see several police officers dancing when Travis sings in the footage. Travis and the festival’s organizers were named in many legal lawsuits following the fatal event, although no charges have ever been brought against him.

    Travis Scott representatives made a statement saying that, “Travis Scott will not be charged with criminal charges or any wrongdoing for his involvement with Astroworld festival.”

    The rep continued, “Today’s decision by the Harris County District Attorney confirms what we have known all along – that Travis Scott is not responsible for the Astroworld tragedy.
    This is consistent with investigative reporting by numerous media outlets and federal and state government reports that have squarely placed the onus for event safety crises on organizers, operators and contractors — not performers.”
    They continued to say that “While waiting patiently for the District Attorney’s decision to not file charges, Travis Scott has been inaccurately and wrongly singled out, despite stopping the show three separate times and being unaware of the events as they were unfolding. Now that this chapter is closed, we hope for the government efforts to focus on what is most important – stopping future heartbreaking tragedies like Astroworld from ever occurring again.”
