Travis Scott and his legal team have been dubbed “stunningly tone deaf” for criticising the timing of the publication of a police report about the Astroworld tragedy. The Houston Police Department made that lengthy document available on Friday, just as Scott released his new album ‘Utopia’, his first since the fatal crowd surge that occurred during his headline set at the 2021 edition of the festival he founded.On Friday, a representative for Scott told TMZ: “The timing of the Houston Police Department report’s release, coinciding with the launch of Travis Scott’s highly anticipated album, is anything but coincidental … it is outrageous that HPD has chosen to resort to tactics that attempt to discredit Travis and his team, casting doubt on how the unfortunate events at Astroworld actually transpired while deflecting blame from their own critical failures”.Responding to those remarks, a lawyer working for the family of one of those who died during the crowd surge, ten year old Ezra Blount, said in his own statement to TMZ: “For an artist making his living with music, these are stunningly tone deaf comments about this preventable tragedy that took so many lives and injured so many”.Ten people died and hundreds more were injured during the crowd surge at Astroworld 2021, which took place in Houston’s NRG Park.

Travis Scott has been accused of violating a gag order earlier this week (March 28).Attorneys for some of the victims of last year’s Astroworld tragedy alleged in court on Monday that Scott violated a gag order that was issued in lawsuits they filed relating to the case.The rapper is currently facing hundreds of lawsuits over the events that unfolded at Astroworld in Houston in November, where 10 people died and 300 people were injured at the festival following a crowd surge.The attorneys allege that breaking the rules of the gag order could influence future jurors and improve Scott’s reputation ahead of any potential trial.It stems from an announcement that Scott made earlier this month regarding ‘Project HEAL’, an initiative that includes funding for large-scale events to help them address safety challenges.On social media, Scott wrote: “My team and I created Project HEAL to take much needed action towards supporting real solutions that make all events the safest spaces they can possibly be.

Apparently, Travis Scott’s plan for a new charitable initiative in the wake of the Astroworld tragedy did not go down well with everyone.

Billie Eilish has once again temporarily stopped one of her live shows in order to check on the safety of her crowd.While performing at Madison Square Garden in New York City over the weekend, Eilish told her fans: “If you want to sit down, you are allowed.

Kanye West over his “hurtful” comments towards Billie Eilish.West took to Instagram last night (February 10) to ask Eilish to “apologise” to Travis Scott while sharing a screenshot of an article that accused her of “dissing” the latter artist at one of her recent shows.The news story in question referenced a comment that the ‘Happier Than Ever’ pop star made at a concert in Atlanta, Georgia, which saw an audience member suffer a medical emergency.Eilish halted her performance so that the fan could access an inhaler. “Can we just grab one?” she asked a crew member.
