Astroworld Festival Lawsuits
Astroworld Festival attendees have filed the first lawsuits following the deadly performance of rapper Travis Scott Friday evening, Nov. 5. Eight people died and dozens were injured in the morass. Scott and fellow rapper Drake have been accused of helping cause the stampede through negligence.
Twenty-three-year-old Astroworld Festival attendee Kristian Paredes filed a lawsuit this past weekend. The suit accuses Scott and guest star Drake of stirring up the crowd and sparking the deadly chaos. Parades seeks more than $1 million in damages.
Rappers continued as crowd spiraled out of control
The lawsuit claims Drake “came on stage alongside Travis Scott and helped incite the crowd.” The two rappers continued to perform, said the petition, even “as the crowd became out of control” and “mayhem” ensued.
The complaint states: “The crowd became chaotic, and a stampede began, leaving eight dead and dozens, including Kristian Paredes, severely injured.”

David P. Matthews Attorney"When the judge read the verdict in Martha Salazar’s case ($73 Million), and we learned the jury ordered [the medical device maker] to pay Martha, (we) knew they believed every word she said. We realized they knew the defendant was truly guilty."
