The Lawsuits Against Travis Scott Are Endless.
Travis Scott is facing a new lawsuit over his 2019 concert.
The rapper is accused of fomenting a stampede during his performance at Rolling Loud in Miami. Travis was added last month to the current lawsuit filed against the organizers of Rolling Loud in 2020 by Marchelle Love, who said he was seriously injured during the incident in May 2019.
Love’s lawyers claim that the police told Travis to stop his performance because the crowd was out of control, but he allegedly ignored the cops and provoked the fans even more.
According to Billboard, Love’s lawyers said, “Despite being ordered by the authorities to halt their ongoing incitement to the crowd, Travis Scott continued to verbally and physically encourage the crowd to participate in a mosh pit and other dangerous activities.”
The lawsuit alleges that multiple stampedes broke out during Travis’ set, causing members of the crowd to choke, lose consciousness, fight and trample.

Travis Scott Can’t Get Rid of Lawsuits
“Despite the fact that Travis Scott was aware of and could clearly see concertgoers being injured, suffocating, losing consciousness, fighting, and being trampled, he continued his performance while authorities were forced to attempt to render aid to these injured concertgoers,” added Love’s lawyers.
A rep for Scott has called the new accusations a “blatant, cynical attempt to attack Travis” over a “3-year-old incident that is deliberately misrepresented.” They say the stampede at Rolling Loud was caused by a “false report of a shooting mid-show” that was “completely unrelated to Travis’s performance.”
“This cheap opportunism is based on a blatant lie that’s easy to detect,” said Travis’ rep. “And it is particularly telling that this plaintiff’s lawyer didn’t even assert a claim against Travis when he originally filed the complaint on behalf of his client more than two years ago or in four prior versions of that complaint.”
