There is more trouble on the horizon for popular American rapper Travis Scott as no fewer than 46 lawsuits have been filed against him and the organisers of the tragic Astroworld festival.
According to Billboard, as of Wednesday morning, November 10, 2021, as much as 46 lawsuits have been filed against the troubled rapper and the festival’s organizers following the tragic incident which claimed eight lives and left a hundreds others injured.
Many of the lawsuits allege that Scott, Live Nation, Drake, and other defendants were negligent and failed to properly plan and execute Astroworld Festival, and also failed to stop the concert until nearly 40 minutes after Houston PD declared a “mass casualty incident.”
In a related development, more than 25,000 people have signed a Change.org petition to have Travis Scott removed from next year’s Coachella festivities after the deadly incident at his recent Astroworld concert.

The rapper, who is scheduled as one of the headliners of the 2022 Coachella festival, has come under fire after fans were killed during a deadly crowd surge at his Astroworld festival last week.
The crowd-sourcing petition titled, “Remove Travis Scott as a Goldenvoice performer” has been signed by thousands of people asking promoter Goldenvoice and top stakeholders to drop the “Sicko Mode” rapper from performing at the event.
“With the recent tragic and unnecessary death at Travis Scott’s Astroworld concert, due to Scott’s own gross negligence and sheer lack of compassion for human life, we ask AEG, Paul Tollett, and Goldenvoice to remove him as performer at all of their festivals,” petition creator Sendero Secreto wrote.
