Travis Scott — Attorney Of Youngest Astroworld Victim, 10-Year-Old Ezra Blount, Slams Rapper’s Team For Accusing Authorities Of Releasing Astroworld Report To Hurt His New Album Sales

Is Travis Scott being insensitive to the family of 10-year-old Ezra Blount, the youngest Astroworld victim who passed away at the rapper’s concert back in 2021?

According to reports, Bob Hilliard, the lawyer representing the family of the late Ezra Blount, is criticizing Travis Scott’s camp for accusing authorities of trying to hurt the sales of his fourth solo album “Utopia.” This comes after the Houston Police Department released a 1,266-page investigative report about Travis Scott’s 2021 Astroworld Festival — which ended in tragedy.

Bob Hilliard added,

As previously reported, on November 5, 2021, Travis Scott held his annual Astroworld music festival in his hometown of Houston, Texas.

Scott and concert organizers face hundreds of lawsuits for his music festival gone wrong. In addition to others, a lawsuit issued by the Blount family is currently pending.
