AceShowbiz - Travis Scott (II) has been spotted in public for the first time since his deadly Astroworld Festival, which left nine people dead and hundreds injured. In his first sighting, the "Sicko Mode" rapper could be seen pacing outside his home.
In photos obtained by Daily Mail on Wednesday, November 10, the 30-year-old spitter was photographed speaking on his phone outside his $14 million Houston mansion, where he has reportedly been hiding out with his baby mama Kylie Jenner since the horrific ordeal. In the pictures, he wrapped himself in a gray Hermes blanket with the letter "H" patterned on it.
Travis, born Jacques Webster, appeared anxious as he paced back and forth. Later that day, his legal team led by lawyer Neal Manne arrived at the mansion and had a brief chat with the "Goosebumps" crooner as the number of lawsuits against him has reached 68.
It's reported that Neal and three other attorneys were met by Travis' security team and quickly ushered inside, where they stayed for about 45 minutes. Travis himself has been holed up at the home with 24-hour security and at least five security guards since the festival on November 5.
Travis, Drake, who made an appearance during Travis' set, and the events organizers, Live Nation and ScoreMore, are being sued by the victims for "inciting mayhem" during the deadly festival. The rappers could be ordered to shell out "billions" in compensation.
In the wake of the tragedy, Travis released two statements expressing condolences for the victims and their families. "I'm absolutely devastated by what took place last night. My prayers go out to the families all those impacted by what happened at Astroworld Festival," he wrote on November 6.
Travis later took to his Instagram Story to post a video to show how devastated he was by the tragic incident. He also mentioned that he was looking to offer assistance to the families. "We're actually working right now to identify the families so we can help them through this tough time," he said.
Following the tragic festival, Travis vowed to pay for the funeral costs of all the Astroworld chaos victims. "These are the first of many steps Travis plans on taking as a part of his personal vow to assist those affected throughout their grieving and recovery process," his representative said.
On November 11, his representative explained that Travis has asked victims to contact him directly to provide them with help. The rep added that the rapper also provided free mental health counseling. "We have been actively exploring routes of connection with each and every family affected by the tragedy through the appropriate liaisons," the spokesperson said.
"He is distraught by the situation and desperately wishes to share his condolences and provide aid to them as soon as possible," the representative continued. The rep added that Travis "wants to remain respectful of each family's wishes on how they'd best like to be connected."
