AceShowbiz - Another person has spoken against Travis Scott (II) in the wake of Astroworld tragedy. His alleged ex-manager slammed the "SICKO MODE" rapper, accusing the artist of leaving him for dead.
In a video online, Shane Morris claimed that he wasn't surprised by the tragic incident which took place at Astroworld Festival on Friday, November 5. "Travis Scott is the worst person I worked with in my entire career in music," he said. "Eight people are dead and hundreds more injured after Travis Scott's callous, reckless behavior at Astroworld and I hate to be the one saying this, but I saw this coming and I tried to tell everyone."
Prior to this, a Twitter user named DDot claimed that Travis alleged "left his former manager for dead" and Shane said he's that person. "I'm Travis Scott's former manager. I'm the one who had a seizure and I'm the one that he left for dead in a basement in Los Angeles. I originally told my account in 2013 and then it recirculated on Reddit about six years ago."
Shane later addressed the videos from Astroworld which showed Scott ignoring warnings and complaints of injuries and dying attendees "align with what I know about Travis Scott." He added, "When he sees people in harm or in danger, he tends to only continue thinking about himself. And to make it worse, he's been doing this for years at other concerts."
He continued that his job as his manager for Travis was to "fake his popularity." That included programming "a fleet of Soundcloud bots to artificially inflate his play counts."
In the tragic accident during chaos that broke out at NRG Park in Houston, Texas, eight people died while several others were injured. The "Highest in the Room" rapper has been accused of negligence by three concertgoers in lawsuits against the headliner. Following the tragedy, Travis has canceled his November 13 appearance at the Day N Vegas Festival in Las Vegas.
Additionally, the rapper has been reported to plan reimbursing concert attendees. He also offered to cover the funeral costs of the fans who lost their lives at the concert.
