Travis Scott’s Attorney Blasts Houston Police For Releasing Full Report Of Astroworld Tragedy

Travis Scott’s Attorney Calls Out Houston Police For Releasing Full Report Of 2021 Astroworld Tragedy

Last week the Houston Police Department issued a detailed report on the 2021 Travis Scott‘s Astroworld tragedy that occurred during Travis Scott’s performance at NRG Park.

The Houston PD tweeted a link to the 1,266 page document. Last week, Scott was informed that his planned performance at the Pyramids was canceled over the rapper’s alleged “strange rituals.”

Scott’s attorney, Kent Schaffer told TMZ that the timing of its release is suspect. “The timing of the Houston Police Department report’s release, coinciding with the launch of Travis Scott’s highly anticipated album, is anything but coincidental,” he said.

“Travis Scott and his team were, as anticipated, fully cleared of any wrongdoing associated with the Astroworld tragedy by a grand jury based on the very report released today.”

The statement continued: “It is outrageous that HPD has chosen to resort to tactics that attempt to discredit Travis and his team, casting doubt on how the unfortunate events at Astroworld actually transpired while deflecting blame from their own critical failures. Travis’s commitment to his audience’s safety and well-being is well-documented.”

“As reported countless times, he actively stopped the show three separate times. Contrary to the HPD report’s inaccuracies, the concert did end at the exact time communicated to Travis. Meanwhile, Houston police officers present at the event did not intervene during the unfolding situation. They were observed throughout the show standing by idly, buying merch and even filming the concert in its entirety.

“We encourage the Houston PD to make peace with the fact that Travis Scott and his team were found innocent of any wrongdoing and to focus on what really matters – making sure tragedies like Astroworld never occur again under their watch.”
