Video Surfaces Of Rapper Travis Scott Ignoring Audience's Pleas To Stop Concert That Killed 8, Injured Hundreds

Videos shot at Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival Friday night appears to show fans desperately trying to get the concert to stop, as the crush went on for about a half hour before the music was stopped, leaving at least eight people dead and scores more injured.

Scott apparently noticed an ambulance moving through the crowd, stopped performing for a few moments, then promised to “make this motherf**king ground shake,” and resumed the show. It’s unclear if he heard any of the crowd’s pleas.

Another 11-second post starts with a closeup of Houston police officers and medics attending to a fan on the ground, while the audio captures a line of Scott’s song.

The camera then shifts to show Scott on top of a platform above the crowd, glancing in the direction of the cops. The rapper then turns away, shimmying his hips as he dances, and the video goes back to the scene of the victim being treated.

A different video shows Scott standing on the same platform looking more intently at a group of security officers carrying an unconscious fan. It is unclear if the same victim was in both videos.

Another clip posted on Twitter showed people in the crowd shouting “Stop the show!” though it was unlikely the group could be heard on stage. Others circulating online showed crowd members begging camera crews to stop the show.
