Travis Scott's Legal Troubles Mount as Criminal Charges Loom for Astroworld Tragedy

Rapper Travis Scott and others involved in planning his Astroworld Festival in 2021 may face criminal charges as a Texas grand jury convenes to consider the case. The investigation follows a crowd crush at the festival that resulted in 10 deaths and thousands of injuries. Scott's lawyer maintains that his actions do not violate Texas criminal law. The tragedy has led to numerous lawsuits against Scott, the festival organizers, and Live Nation. The cases have been consolidated in multidistrict litigation, with some settlements reached, while others remain pending. The family of a 10-year-old boy who was killed in the incident is among those seeking accountability.
