Travis Scott Breaks Silence in First Interview Since Astroworld

Travis Scott has sit down for his first interview following the mass casualty event that took 10 lives at his Astroworld Festival last month.

On Thursday morning (Dec. 9), an interview with television and radio personality Charlamagne Tha God surfaced online via YouTube, in which La Flame is speaking out on the tragic incident that has led to billions of dollars in lawsuits, which the rapper has recently filed documents to have dismissed.

Travis, who starts of the conversation expressing that he has been on “an emotional roller coaster” since the calamity occurred at NRG Stadium in his hometown on Nov. 5, said that he wishes he could heal all of those impacted by the tragedy.

While La Flame didn’t have a particular goal with the interview with CThaGod, the platinum-selling artist acknowledged that a horrific situation happened and he needed an avenue to express himself on what had transpired.

When asked when he found out when everything actually happened, Travis Scott explained, “It wasn’t really until…minutes until the press conference that he figured out exactly what happened.” Scott is presumably referring to the conference put on by Fire Chief Samuel Peña, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and Houston Police Chief Troy Finner on Sat., Nov. 6, the day after his annual event. The public statement, filmed by KHOU 11 News Houston, announced that at that time, they were eight deceased victims and the exact moments when things took a tragic turn.

“Even after the show, you’re just kind of hearing things,” he continued. “But I didn’t know the exact details until minutes before the press conference. And even at that moment, you’re kinda like, what? You just went through something.”

Travis Scott said he didn’t know people had lost their lives until minutes ahead of the press conference.
