Chaos and Deaths at Travis Scott Performance: Here’s What We Know Now

Past incidents at performances by Travis Scott

Travis Scott’s performances have often resulted in chaos and injuries. The rapper is known for encouraging his fans, whom he calls “ragers”, to mosh pits, crowd surfing and stage diving. In 2015, he had his audience climb on stage, trampling a 15-year-old girl. The teen survived the incident. In a lawsuit subsequently sued the artist, Scott pleaded guilty for reckless conduct.

At a performance in 2017, a concertgoer was injured after falling from a balcony. Scott had urged his fans on the balcony just before that to jump off. The visitor, who was paralyzed by the fall, filed a lawsuit against Scott and his management, accusing them of negligence and recklessness. The lawsuit is still ongoing.
