Rapper Travis Scott said he was unaware of any problems at his Astroworld, Houston, Texas concert last month, which would have stopped him from giving the show in his first post-traumatic interview, in which 10 people were killed. .
He said he did not know people had been killed or injured until he left the scene.
However, he stressed that he felt he had a responsibility to find out exactly what happened and to ensure that such a thing would never happen again.
“I did not know the exact details until minutes before the press conference (after the concert),” Scott told radio producer Charlamagne tha God in an interview aired on his YouTube channel today.
The famous rapper interrupted the show twice, once to call the security men to help a fan who had fainted, but noted that the noise on the stage and the fireworks made it difficult for him to better understand what was happening.
“You want to make sure the fans get the attention they need. Any time I could see something like that, I did. I interrupted the concert a couple of times in order to make sure that everyone was fine … I just did not hear that “.
“You can only help with what you can see and what they tell you, whenever you are told to stop, you stop,” he stressed.
Lawyers representing more than 200 people, who were injured by the crowd of 50,000, have filed more than 90 lawsuits against Scott and the concert organizers, Live Nation Entertainment Inc.
Scott’s attorneys, for their part, have filed documents denying legal responsibility for the deaths and injuries.
“Fans come to the show to have a beautiful experience and I have a responsibility to find out what happened there. “I have a responsibility to find a solution,” Scott said in an interview.
The 30-year-old musician urged his fans to “break out” and make “the earth shake”, but, as he stressed, all he wanted was to make them have fun.
“Tonight was like a normal show; people did not show up there just to do harm. “People showed up there to have a good time and then something unfortunate happened.”
