Travis Scott Went To Dave & Busters Following Astroworld Tragedy
Travis Scott was reportedly unaware of the tragedy unfolding in front of him at Astroworld on Friday night (November 5) and went to an afterparty at Dave & Busters.
According to TMZ, sources connected to the rapper says he was never told people at the festival had died in the crowd and hundreds more were injured.
"Travis didn't know the severity of the situation when he arrived at the party, as far as timing, this remains consistent with the fact that no one including the police had publicly confirmed the gravity of the events that had taken place," the sources told the celebrity news outlet.
Additionally, Drake, who performed with Scott at Astroworld and threw the after-party, also claims he didn’t know there were people dying in the crowd, according to the sources.
Investigators are still trying to determine exactly what happened, but the incident occurred when “the crowd surged towards the stage, crushing those at the front who were unable to escape,” local fire chief Sam Peña told CNN.
The incident broke out just after 9 p.m. CST. An estimated 50,000 people attended the sold-out event at NRG Park.
Video recordings of the event shows Travis on-stage looking confused as an ambulance with flashing lights moves into the densely packed crowd.
Concert-goers reportedly rushed the stage in an effort to escape the chaos, causing panic, while the situation worsened when security personnel were overwhelmed, police say.
