Scott, along with guest performer Drake sued

The rappers are being sued by Kristian Paredes, a 23-year-old who was injured when a crowd erupted during Astroworld 2021. Paredes claimed the rappers created pandemonium that caused injury to him.

In addition to Paredes’s lawsuit, Live Nation Entertainment Inc. and Harris County Sports and Convention Corporation have also sued the rappers for negligence.

Manuel Souza, another Astroworld attendee, filed a petition on Saturday in Harris County District Court. The lawsuit claimed that “gross negligence” on the part of Scott, ScoreMore and Live Nation led to “predictable and preventable tragedy” that left him injured.

Comments by Drake in the aftermath of the scandal

Amidst emerging videos showing Drake paying no heed to fans screaming to stop the show at Astroworld, an Instagram post by the rapper said that he’s “working right now to identify the families and help them through this tough time.” “My fans really mean the world to me, and I have always wanted to leave them with a positive experience,” he added.
