Canadian rapper Drake first commented on the festival Astroworld. A post on this topic appeared on his Instagram account.
The musician was a participant in the event, where there was a stampede that resulted in the death of eight people. He admitted that in recent days he constantly tried to comprehend what happened.
“My heart is broken because of the families and friends of those who have passed away, as well as because of everyone who is suffering. I will continue to pray for everyone and I will help as much as I can. May God be with you, “said Drake.
The crush occurred on November 5 at the Astroworld festival in Houston during a performance by rapper Travis Scott. It lasted half an hour, during which time more than 300 people were injured. Eight fans of the rapper died from their injuries. They were between 14 and 27 years old.
One of the attendees of the event, Manuel Sousa, filed a lawsuit against Scott and the organizers. As follows from the materials of the case, the musician and the organizers of the site are accused of “a predictable and preventable tragedy.” According to Souza, they put profit over the health and safety of the event attendees. The plaintiff's lawyers also pointed out that the show decided not to stop even after ambulances arrived at the scene.
