At Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival in 2021, tragedy struck when 10 fans lost their lives. It has since been found that in the aftermath of the incident, hundreds of lawsuits were filed against the 32-year-old rapper.
Travis was questioned for several hours this week, with his spokesperson stating that this was 'typical legal procedure'. However, attorneys for the plaintiff then filed an emergency motion to obtain electronic records for Scott and his employees, claiming they had failed to provide the necessary documents.
In response, his legal team responded that Scott's phone had fallen off a boat in Mexico during a getaway last year, and could not be retrieved. Furthermore, he had not backed up his phone due to 'significant hacking concerns', making the contents of the device irrecoverable.
On November 5, 2021, more than 50,000 people were in attendance at Scott's Astroworld Festival when the night ended in tragedy. As the Grammy-nominee appeared on stage, concertgoers surged forward, leading to countless fans being trampled and crushed.
In June, Scott was cleared following an investigation by the Houston Police Department and a grand jury in Texas ruled that he will not be indicted over the incident. His spokesperson stated that he was 'co-operating with all proceedings', and that there was 'nothing to hide'.
