Travis Scott criticized by lawyer of 9-year-old trampling victim

The Daily Mail on August 1 reported on the incident involving Travis Scott. Accordingly, the Houston Police Department - USA released their report on the stampede tragedy at the Astroworld Festival 2021 on July 28. On the same day, the performance promoting Travis Scott's new album "Utopia" scheduled to take place at the Giza Pyramids in Egypt was canceled.

Travis Scott's lawyer Kent Schaeffer said the release of the report on the stampede tragedy on July 28 was a deliberate attempt to damage the music star's reputation. The report also affected sales of the album "Utopia".

A representative for Travis Scott also told TMZ: "The timing of the release of the Houston Police Department's report coincides with the release of Travis Scott's highly anticipated album, which is no coincidence!"

Attorney Bob Hilliard, who represents the family of 9-year-old Ezra Blount, who died in the stampede, has criticized the rapper and his legal team. The attorney said that 10 people, ranging in age from 9 to 27, died after being trampled by a crowd of 50,000 people at the music festival. Dozens of people were hospitalized and about 300 were treated for injuries at the scene. Doesn't all of this deserve to be talked about just because Travis Scott is promoting his new album?

Ezra Blount, 9, was seriously injured in the stampede and died 10 days later.

According to Bob Hilliard, the statement from Travis Scott shows a lack of compassion and indifference to a tragedy that took so many lives, injured so many people and could have been prevented. The detailed police report confirms the serious negligence of those involved in organizing the music festival, including Travis Scott's team.

Attorney Bob Hilliard added that Travis Scott's side was only concerned about the timing of the report's release and its impact on album sales and popularity... and did not pay attention to the tragic details of the stampede.

On June 30, the Harris County Court confirmed that Travis Scott is not responsible for what happened at the 2021 Astroworld Music Festival.

All 10 deaths occurred in the general access area where festivalgoers could not get to the front near the stage.

The main cause of the tragedy was the overcrowding of the audience, which resulted in the audience being packed into one section of the audience area.
