Travis Scott Now Faces 14 Lawsuits Connected to 8 Deaths At Astroworld Performance

Rapper Travis Scott is facing multiple lawsuits in connection to the deadly crowd incident that claimed eight lives and injured hundreds more during Scott's performance at the Astroworld Festival in Houston last Friday.

As of Monday, at least 14 lawsuits have been filed against Scott and organizers of the festival, Live Nation Entertainment and ScoreMore, in Harris County District Court.

In one petition filed over the weekend, concertgoer Manuel Souza sued Scott for the "predictable and preventable tragedy" that Souza claims was a direct result of "a motivation for profit at the expense of concertgoers' health and safety," according to Billboard. He is seeking $1 million in damages.

Another lawsuit has been filed against Scott and Canadian musician Drake, who appeared alongside Scott on stage for the headline set, for "inciting mayhem."

"There is no excuse for the events that unfolded at NRG Stadium on Friday night," Texas attorney Thomas Henry wrote in the filing. "There is every indication that the performers, organizers, and venue were not only aware of the hectic crowd but also that injuries and potential deaths may have occurred. Still, they decided to put profits over their attendees and allowed the deadly show to go on."

On Sunday, high-profile attorney Ben Crump also announced he was filing suit against Scott and Astroworld on behalf of 21-year-old concert attendee Noah Gutierrez.
