Drake was a special guest of rap superstar Travis Scott, who headlined the Astroworld festival.
Hip-hop artist Drake has been dismissed from a lawsuit over the 2021 Astroworld festival in Houston in which 10 people were killed, a judge has ruled.
Many of those who were sued, including Drake and Scott, asked state District Judge Kristen Hawkins to dismiss the lawsuits against them. On Wednesday, Ms Hawkins dismissed Drake from the case in a brief order.Lawyers for Drake, whose full name is Aubrey Drake Graham, had argued during a court hearing on April 1 in Houston that he was not involved in putting the concert together so was not liable for the deaths and injuries that had occurred.
In the deposition, Drake was shown a video that the youngest victim, nine-year-old Ezra Blount, took as he sat on his father’s shoulders.Later, when asked by an attorney for Ezra’s family about whether it would be important for him to hear from those who put the concert together about why Ezra died, Drake said: “I think I would want answers for what happened, yes.”
Ms Hawkins was set to hear other motions to dismiss, including one related to Scott as an individual, on Monday.A grand jury in June declined to indict him and five other people on any criminal counts related to the deadly concert. Police Chief Troy Finner declined to say what was the overall conclusion of his agency’s investigation.
