Travis Scott has landed himself in another legal battle as he faces a lawsuit filed by a Rolling Loud Miami concertgoer who claims she was severely injured during the May 2019 incident. The American rapper is being accused of causing the 2019 stampede at Rolling Loud in Miami, by blatantly ignoring police demands to stop the 'dangerous' and 'uncontrollable' concert.&nbsp;

As per Billboard, Scott was added last month as a defendant to an existing lawsuit filed against Rolling Loud's organizers in 2020 by the woman. Scott is being sued for this amidst hundreds of ongoing legal claims over the deadly Astroworld festival.&nbsp;

The rapper allegedly disregarded a plea by the police, who rushed backstage after Scott began his set, asking him to stop his performance. "Despite his being ordered by the authorities to cease his continued incitement of the crowd, Travis Scott continued to verbally and physically incite the crowd to engage in a mosh pit and other hazardous activities," Love's lawyers wrote.&nbsp;

"Despite the fact that Travis Scott was aware of and could clearly see concertgoers being injured, suffocating, losing consciousness, fighting, and being trampled, he continued his performance while authorities were forced to attempt to render aid to these injured concertgoers. However, the rapper's representative called the new accusations a "blatant, cynical attempt to attack Travis" over a "3-year-old incident that is deliberately misrepresented."&nbsp;

"They claimed that the stampede at Rolling Loud was caused by a false report of an active shooter that caused panic in the crowd." As even the complaint makes clear, this incident was related to a false report of a shooting mid-show, completely unrelated to Travis's performance. This cheap opportunism is based on a blatant lie that`s easy to detect. And it is particularly telling that this plaintiff`s lawyer didn't even assert a claim against Travis when he originally filed the complaint on behalf of his client more than two years ago or in four prior versions of that complaint," Scott's representative added.&nbsp;

Apart from Scott, the case also named contractor Sequel Tour Solutions as a defendant. When it was filed in 2020, it originally constituted names of various Rolling Loud organizers, but they were dropped from the case earlier this year.&nbsp;

Rapper Travis Scott faces lawsuit for causing stampede at 2019 Rolling Loud festival

A lot has happened since that fateful day of November 5 when a sudden surge in crowd at the Astroworld Music Festival claimed at least 10 lives and left many others injured. At the centre of it all are the organisers and headlining act, rapper Travis Scott.&nbsp;

 
However, latest media reports have claimed that the celebrated rapper has denied responsibility for the deaths of those attending his concert that took place in his hometown of Houston, Texas.

&nbsp; 
According to reports, more than 140 lawsuits have been filed so far against the rapper as well as organisers, including a mass litigation lawsuit filed by over 1,500 attendees. Almost all the lawsuits have alleged that the defendants, even Travis Scott, were negligent in their handling of the music festival and continued on with the concert even when the crowd numbers had spiraled way out of hand. Scott, however, has reportedly denied all the allegations.

In court papers filed in response to six <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-astroworld-tragedy-travis-scott-organisers-sued-for-750m-430297">lawsuits</a>, which were obtained earlier this week by CNN, attorneys for Scott have asked for the cases to be dropped and banned from being brought up again. “Defendants generally deny the allegations set forth,” they said, reportedly.&nbsp;

 
Families of victims have vehemently criticised the rapper's filings, labelling them as "shameful". Houston attorney James Lassiter told CNN that Scott "continues using social media to present a public image of someone who is grieved by the catastrophic loss of life that his actions caused” while “quietly paying celebrity lawyers to argue his victims deserve nothing more than symbolic help with funeral costs."

 
Soon after the tragedy took place, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-astroworld-magazine-desperate-to-stop-the-print-version-of-travis-scott-kylie-jenner-cover-429978">Travis Scott</a> released a video statement, claiming he was “honestly just devastated” by what had happened.&nbsp;

Scott has offered to cover the funeral costs of the Astroworld victims. However, at least one family, of the youngest victim Ezra Blount (9), has declined to take help from him.&nbsp;

 
Another Houston attorney, Brent Coons, has demanded Scott pays $10bn to settle litigation from the tragedy. The attorney is reportedly representing 1,547 concertgoers, which the law firm said is the largest lawsuit to date. Lawyers have also asked the court to combine cases to speed up the litigation process.

Not sorry: Travis Scott denies responsibility for Astroworld tragedy

The aftereffects of Astroworld tragedy seems to die down.

 
After multiple lawsuits against music festival organisers and headliner Travis Scott, the family of another 14-year-old teenage victim, who was killed during the deadly Astroworld concert earlier this month, are reportedly suing the rapper and others involved for $1 million, reports claim.&nbsp;

John Hilgert was the second youngest of 10 victims to lose his life to the fatal stampede after a sudden surge in crowd causing a stampede at the opening night of the music festival in SCott's hometown Houston, Texas, on November 5.

 
The teenager’s parents, Chris and Nichole Hilgert, filed their lawsuit on Wednesday against Scott, event organizer Live Nation Worldwide and others for “gross negligence” and “reckless disregard” for Hilgert’s safety that ultimately costed his life, according to reports.&nbsp;

 
“The pain of our loss from our son John not making it home alive from an event such as this is intolerable. He was a beautiful young man who simply wanted to enjoy his first concert event with friends, whom he treasured spending time with more than anything else," the dad said in a statement, according to a news outlet.

The parents say they want to ensure that things change in the future and new safety measures are introduced so that a tragic event like this doesn’t occur again.

 
“This pain should never be felt by anyone over a loved one attending a live concert. There is no excuse for the poor crowd design, event execution and lack of response that was exercised at this festival that resulted in the tragic death of our son and nine others along with scores of other people that were innocently injured,” the father’s statement continued.

 
The lawsuit is to hold the defendants accountable for “failure to provide adequate security personnel to implement crowd control measures, proper barricades, and failure to provide a sufficient amount of emergency medical support,” states the court filing, according to news reports.

 
This new case is among 150-odd lawsuits filed by around 600 people who claim they were injured at the ill-fated event, according to a report by the Houston Chronicle.

Just last week, 282 victims of the concert stampede filed a $2 billion lawsuit against Scott, Drake, Live Nation, Apple Music and NRG Stadium, saying they “cut corners, cut costs, and put attendees at risk,” their lawyer Thomas Henry alleged.

 
Another 125 victims, which included the family of 21-year-old Axel Acosta Avila who died in the incident, filed a $750 million lawsuit for loss of mental and physical health and loss of human life.

 
Earlier this week, two security guards present at the concert--Jackson Bush and his uncle Samuel Bush--filed a $1 million suit stating the artist and the organizers put “greed” before safety, reports have confirmed.&nbsp;

More trouble for Travis Scott, family of teenage victim sues rapper over negligence

More trouble for Travis Scott and Astroworld organisers.

 
According to latest reports on Astroworld crowd-surge tragedy, more than 125 people, who were caught up in the stampede, have sued the festival's headliner Travis Scott and event organisers for $750m (£556m).

The family of Axel Acosta, one of the 10 victims to have lost their lives, are among those slamming a legal case in the US.

 
The lawsuit claims Scott and guest star Drake kept performing despite accounts of "lifeless bodies being passed through the crowd in full view of the stage."

 
Scott, on the other hand, maintains he was not aware of the tragedy until after he came off stage. 
In his official statement, the rapper said he was "distraught" by the events of 5 November, and promised to "provide aid" to every affected family.

Drake, too, said his "heart is broken for the families and friends of those who lost their lives and for anyone else who is suffering."

 
Court Papers filed in the US also named festival promoters Live Nation; tech mogul Apple, which streamed the concert, Scott's record labels Epic and Cactus Jack, the operators of Houston's NRG Park venue and firms that provided security and medical services at the venue in Houston, Texas.&nbsp;

 
The case also states that Acosta was "crushed by the incited, unruly and out-of-control crowd" and lay dead on the ground for 40 minutes while the concert was still on.&nbsp;

"Certainly, neither Travis Scott nor his handlers, entourage, managers, agents, hangers on, promoters, organizers or sponsors cared enough about Axel to make even a minimal effort to keep him and the others at the concert safe," it said.

 
After the tragedy, Scott said on Instagram that he "could just never imagine the severity of the situation" while he was performing.

 
Live Nation said in its statement, "We continue to support and assist local authorities in their ongoing investigation, so that both the fans who attended and their families can get the answers they want and deserve, and we will address all legal matters at the appropriate time."

Astroworld tragedy: Travis Scott's collaboration with popular shoe brand put on hold

After high-street brand Nike postponed their collaboration with rapper Travis Scott, a magazine is reportedly trying to pull down its cover story with Scott and his partner, Kylie Jenner, reports claim.&nbsp;

 
W Magazine had done a cover shoot and big interview with the couple before the tragic Astroworld concert took place. Although the magazine has dropped everything from their online site involving the two, the printed version is yet to be distributed and the magazine are trying to stop the delivery trucks from distribution and hitting store shelves. &nbsp;

“W editors have cleared any planned coverage of Travis and Kylie from their website, but the magazine was already printed, and now they are trying to stop the delivery trucks,” one source told a news website.&nbsp; 
"In the light of what happened at Astroworld, the interview and cover lines seem inappropriate, to say the least," added the source.&nbsp;

 
Scott has faced flak following the Astroworld tragedy—which was attended by Jenner and their 3-year-old daughter, Stormi—and is being heavily criticised for allegedly not stopping the chaos. However, claims of him not stopping his act despite knowing about the growing crowd surge has been denied by his new spokeswoman.
