Travis Scott: Asks victims to contact him directly
Travis Scott asks victims and relatives the same day to contact him directly so that he can give them help, reports Reuters. Representatives of the rapper say in a statement that those who want help can contact him at a dedicated email address.
– He is upset about the situation, and desperately wants to give his condolences and help them as soon as possible. But he also wants to respect each family’s desire for how they would like to get in touch with him, they write in a statement.
Scott has previously said he will pay for costs the victims may have associated with funerals and psychological follow-up.
“Together with his team, he has actively explored opportunities to get in touch with every single family affected by this tragedy,” said the statement from Scott and his team.
The rapper was out early to express their despair:
– I am completely crushed by what happened yesterday. My prayers go out to the families and those affected by the incident during the Astroworld festival, he wrote on social media the day after the incident.

SUPER STARS: Travis Scott and Drake. However, the rapper has had to endure a huge rage on social media because of what happened. Most of the criticism is precisely that he did not stop the concert when the chaos broke out.
Night to Tuesday broke artist Drake the silence after the tragedy. He was a guest artist at the concert – and he too has been sued by the victims of the tragedy and their families.
– I have spent the last few days trying to grasp this enormous tragedy. I hate to resort to this particular platform to express a feeling as fragile as grief, but that’s where I am, he wrote in a post on Instagram.
– My heart is broken, he continued.
