Travis Scott has been accused in court of violating a gag order preventing him from discussing the Astroworld 2021 tragedy, the Associated Press reports.

Bob Hilliard, an attorney representing some of the families of those injured and killed at the festival, made the accusation in court on Monday.

Earlier this month, Scott announced Project HEAL, a philanthropic initiative that promises investment in "a tech-driven device" to boost safety at large events. “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," Scott wrote on Instagram soon after Project HEAL's announcement. "I will always honor the victims of the Astroworld tragedy who remain in my heart forever.” Read Next: Kanye West says he’s bringing Travis Scott to Coachella.
