“My client will not face criminal charges or any prosecution for his participation in the AstroWorld festival,” the famous rapper’s lawyer, Kent Schaffer, told Variety. “Today’s decision by the district attorney confirms what we’ve known all along, that Travis Scott is not responsible for the tragedy at AstroWorld.”
