The Grammy-nominated artist goes on to share where he landed mentally following the situation. If you recall, Scott faced widespread scrutiny at the time, as many families of the individuals who lost their lives joined a public crusade blaming him for not stopping the show amid a crowd stampede. There was even a massive lawsuit filed against the “Goosebumps” rapper along with his collaborator Drake, Live Nation – who hosted the event – and a few other parties, as well as a criminal investigation.

Houston Police ultimately closed the investigation, ruling the deaths were “accidental” due to compression asphyxiation. Authorities also cited that no one person could be held criminally responsible. However, many of the lawsuits surrounding the incident were settled for an undisclosed amount. Though his legal troubles have mostly been resolved, Scott suggests he’s still haunted by what occurred. According to the celeb, following the tragedy, he was “not at all” in a good place.

“I was just overly devastated…I always think about it. Those fans were like my family. You know, I love my fans to the utmost.”

Adding:

“It has its moments where it gets rough…You just feel for those people. And their families.”

Reportedly, the musician poured more thoughts about the tragedy in a song on his new album titled “My Eyes,” where he expresses grief over not being able to save the individuals’ lives. Explaining what he wants his audience to take from the record, he states:

“I have pain too. I have concerns, things that I think about, and the things I see on a day-to-day basis I think about them. And every day I want to find change in the things, to make things better, make myself better. It’s just like: I go through things like everyone else. And even recently, through something like I never could imagine.”
