Travis Scott spoke out about the Astroworld tragedy in an interview with Charlamagne Tha God, where he said that he wasn't aware of the fatalities until after the show.
Travis Scott spoke out about the Astroworld tragedy in an extensive interview with radio host Charlamagne Tha God in which the rapper said he was unaware of the injuries and fatalities among fans until after his headlining performance was over.
In the 50-minute interview, posted Thursday on the Breakfast Club co-host's YouTube channel, Scott said that he's still trying to wrap his head around what happened and has been on an "emotional rollercoaster" over the past month.
"At the end of day, like, these fans are your family, so you just feel like you lost -- lost something," he said.
On Nov. 5, about 50,000 gathered for the first night of that weekend's sold-out Astroworld music festival at NRG Stadium in Scott's hometown of Houston. At one point in the chaos, as the crowd surged forward, some concertgoers panicked and pushed in all directions and trampled others, killing 10 and injuring hundreds.
