Scott says he was not aware of the incident unfolding in the crowd as he performed. He described what he remembers when he was on stage that night. 'Everything kind of just sounds the same,' Scott said.
Travis Scott says he didn't know a mass casualty event was unfolding as he performed at his Astroworld festival. Scott sat down with radio host Charlamagne Tha God for his first interview since 10 people died at the event on November 5.
Scott said organizers told him through his earpiece they were going to stop the show after the guest finished his set but did not tell him why they were stopping. "They just told me that right after the guest gets off stage, you know, we're gonna end the show," Scott said. "And that's what we did. Now, other than that, there was no other communication."Scott says he was not aware of the incident unfolding in the crowd as he performed.
Scott also said he did everything he could while on stage. "Everything I physically — sure, yes," he said. "You just wish you could have done something better. But, standing there, 1,000%."When asked if he was responsible for the concert, Scott said he was only in charge of the creative aspects of the festival but left all other details "to the professionals" — referring to the event's organizer, LiveNation.
