Travis Scott's new spokeswoman Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said in a televised interview on Friday that the idea that the rapper could have stopped the Astroworld Festival in Houston is "ridiculous".
"They have a 59-page action plan and it clearly says that the only two people who have the authority to stop the concert were the executive producer and the concert producer," Rawlings-Blake told CBS Mornings. "He was not responsible for that, but he wants to be responsible for the solution."
Rawlings-Blake said Scott was unaware that the event turned into a tragedy, adding that he and his team later attended a post-concert party to "regroup".
"They were trying to figure out what was going on. It was hours after the concert when they found out about the tragedy, how the tragedy happened, "she told presenter Gayle King. "And Travis has not stopped grieving for these families. He knows he is the one who is because of the fans. The love for the fans is very deep. "
Recall that 9 people lost their lives in the concert; a 22-year-old girl passed away two days ago due to injuries received during the concert.
