Perpetuating violence, death, and drug use in plain sight
Astro World Festival – Houston – Travis Scott
Astro World Festival – Houston
As many of you know, the Astroworld tour is alive, well, and back for another round. Unfortunately, the Astro event held in Houston yesterday took a turn for the worst…or did it in Travis Scott’s eyes?? He seemed to both enjoy and ignore the traumatic events as they happened. Bad publicity is still publicity, and we all know Travis loves a good raging raving event.
What Happened Yesterday? – People Died & Got Injured
Several people died, and hundreds (potentially thousands) were injured at the event in Houston last night due to stampeding, suffocation, drug overdoses, lack of protocol and security from Travis and his team, and blatant insane fandom.
But let’s back up…
Though many claim the show should have been stopped when the paramedics and screaming fans made a plea to end the show, the show should never have happened in the first place. A stampede at the gates took place before the show commenced, which means people coming in were bypassing security; the event was no longer safe. Anything considered contraband or dangerous could have been brought into this already well-known crazy event. Ultimately, the event was no longer a controlled event.

Travis Scott makes the claim he had no idea what was happening during his own concert, even though the paramedics and their flashing lights were conspicuous af and impossible to miss, along with thousands of fans screaming and pleading for him to stop the show. His girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, even took a video of the paramedics in the audience; she could’ve also helped stop the show.
Other celebrity artists have stopped their show for far less traumatic reasons…But Travis loves a good rage, am I right, or am I right?

We need to stop glorifying celebrities to the point of insane fandom. There is nothing to freak out about when it comes to Travis Scott; he’s a regular guy that makes popular music. Enjoy the music, have fun, stay safe, avoid stupid drugs, and be thoughtful (as in don’t dance on the same paramedics’ vehicles that are trying to save lives that will be lost forever now).
“Escape Plan” was released November 5th, 2021, the day the Houston Astro World Festival event took place, which is ironic since so many of his fans screaming for help could not execute their own escape plan from the Astro World venue.
“Those stampedes/storming towards the stage/crazy crowds are normal culture for Travis Scott shows, and he knows that.”- Ronald Isley
