Scott was performing at the music festival he founded when the crowd reportedly surged resulting in eight deaths and several injuries. He has since faced criticism over the decision to keep the show going while first responders did their best to help the injured audience members. He was named in three separate lawsuits by victims and other Astroworld 2021 attendees. 

According to a press release, Scott’s sole focus right now is figuring out ways in which he can help with relief. He previously took to his Instagram Story the night after the event to note that he would be dedicating his time to assisting the victims.
