Travis Scott | The Dark Side of Fame | The Tragic Outcome of Astroworld Fest

Almost exactly a year ago, we debuted a brand-new video chronicling
the “Dark Side” of Travis Scott’s fame. There, we not only covered
things like turning his back on his friend and mentor, OG CHE$$,
but also how he used and abused the friendship of Shane Morris who
helped Travis Scott earn far more streams and fans than he ever
would have otherwise. You know, normally I would dive a lot deeper
into a revelation as big as that, but today, we really don’t have
the time -- because there’s an even darker side to Travis Scott
then simply using other people to get ahead in life and it
generally concerns his absolute disregard for the safety of other
people -- most importantly, his fans. Take, for instance, the story
from our video of a young man named Kyle Green who was pushed off a
balcony during a live Travis Scott performance and paralyzed for
life. I mean, we even ended with a side-bar that Scott had once
been taken into custody for inciting a riot and endangering the
welfare of his audience after a number of people were injured at a
Rogers, Arkansas performance. But in all honesty – even that could
have never prepared us for what went down this weekend during
Scott’s most recent iteration of his Astroworld event in Houston,
Texas. In others, it’s happening again – history repeats itself –
and this time, the consequences are simply unacceptable. At least
eight people have died and hundreds were injured as chaos broke out
during Scott’s performance on Saturday night in what would become
one of the deadliest crowd-control disasters at a concert in United
States’ history. Want to know what happened? Well, so do we -- so
let’s try and piece things together now on the Dark Side of Fame.
