Egyptian archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass spoke about the cancellation of Travis Scott’s concert and said: I am against the decision to cancel the concert completely.
Zahi Hawass: I have reservations about the decision to cancel the concert
And the former Egyptian Minister of Antiquities, Dr. Zahi Hawass, added during a telephone conversation with the journalist Amr Adib: “I see that it is a disaster, because there are no reasons to cancel the concert in the first place. He came to Saudi Arabia and held a party there. It is true that he is a somewhat crazy singer, but our international reputation is very important, so I reserve the decision to cancel the concert.”
Travis Scott’s concert cancelled
It is worth noting that Travis Scott’s concert, which was supposed to be revived in the Pyramids area, was recently canceled, as his new album “Utopia” from Egypt was to be released.
The Syndicate of Musical Professions recently sparked controversy on social media after it issued a decision to prevent the international singer from performing a concert in Egypt, under the pretext of presenting rituals that contradict the customs and traditions of the Egyptian people, and the pioneers of social networking sites were divided between supporters and opponents of this decision.
In the statement, the syndicate confirmed that it had set controls and conditions for holding any party, noting that the “Travis Scott” party contradicts those conditions and greatly harms the values of Egypt and its people.
Sue Travis Scott
Travis Scott is an American rapper known for his wild and crowded parties. In November 2021, 10 people died and more than 300 were injured in a stampede during an Astroworld concert in Houston, Texas. Scott has been criticized for his response to the incident, with some accusing him of not doing enough to stop the party and help the victims. Scott denied the accusations and said he was “heartbroken” for the deaths of the people injured in the crash.
In February 2022, the families of 10 of the victims filed a lawsuit against Scott and his production company. The suit alleged that Scott was responsible for “causing serious injury and death” to the victims. Scott denied the accusations, and said he “will sue the plaintiffs, as the investigation is still ongoing.”
