Travis Scott has responded to one of the hundreds of lawsuits against him following the Astroworld tragedy. According to TMZ, the rapper asked a judge to dismiss a suit filed against him by a man named Jessie Garcia, who has claimed that he was in the crowd on November 5th. In the docs, Scott has requested that the suit be dismissed with prejudice as it pertains to himself, his company, Jack Enterprises and his foundation/label Cactus Jack.
Scott issued a “general denial,” which allows him to issue one response to all the allegations against him. He has denied responsibility for the deaths and injuries, and is asking the judge to throw out the suit against him and his entities.
He is also reportedly planning to issue a similar response for the other civil suits filed against him, which could be combined into one big case.
Attorneys for both victims and festival organizers filed a joint petition last week seeking to consolidate the nearly 300 cases into a multi-district litigation before a single judge. The court has yet to rule.
