Travis Scott was asked when he knew that there were fan injuries, and ultimately deaths, at the Nov. 5 festival that left 10 people dead and scores injured.

Rapper reveals he didn’t know that Houston fest was a “mass casualty event” until after police press conferences

“I didn’t know the exact details until minutes before the press conference [after my set],” he said. “And even at that moment you’re like, ‘Wait, what?’

“People pass out, things happen at concerts, but something like that…” he continued, trailing off.

Scott also offered a timeline about why the show continued on for another 40 minutes after Houston police determined it was a “mass casualty event,” with Scott saying he was only told that the show must end after the guests (in this case, Drake) appeared onstage. However, Scott said he wasn’t provided a reason for why the performance was being cut short.

Scott also denied hearing any distress from the crowd that would have caused him to stop the show.
“It’s so crazy because I’m that artist too — anytime you can hear something like that, you want to stop the show,” he said. “You want to make sure fans get the proper attention they need. Anytime I could see anything like that, I did. I stopped it a couple times to just make sure everybody was OK. And I really just go off the fans’ energy as a collective — call and response. I just didn’t hear that.”

“I’m the face of the festival, I’m the artist, so the media wants to put it on me, but at the end of the day I don’t think it’s more so about that, it’s more so about stepping up to figure out what the problem is. And I could take that,” he said. “I could take stepping out to figure out what the problem is, I could take stepping up to figure out what the solution is so that it never happened again.”

Can he stop lying already 

[Kimmo 80,786]

Ambulance, paramedics, fans in distress and everyone else feeling the chaos but him? The only person that could see from the platform? He seriously had no idea? Like really? Take your fake apology to the kardashians!

The lack of responsibility is disgusting.

[FATCAT 60,100]

No one believes that. Artists routinely stop fights in the crowd, he could see everything! 

[Bat 6,162]

Even a fool wouldn't believe this nonsense, show some respect to the victims, hope he'll get sued for all his money.

[QUEENH 711]

His shows are a mess. He amps the crowd up to behave like lunatics putting themselves in danger. And for what?

This is giving me huge Alec Baldwin "I didn't fire the gun" teas.
