Rapper Travis Scott is asking a judge to dismiss one of the lawsuits he’s facing after the deadly Astroworld concert.
According to TMZ, Scott requested that a suit filed against him and several of his businesses by an attendee of the fatal festival be dismissed with prejudice. Scott issued a “general denial” to the allegations to claim the death and injuries are not his responsibility.
Scott is currently facing nearly 300 civil suits related to the Nov. 5 crowd crush at the Houston concert that left 10 people between the ages of 14 and 27 dead and more than 300 injured, including 25 who were hospitalized.
Scott may just have to deny the allegations once.
On Friday, attorneys asked for all the lawsuits to be combined into one — representing 1,250 plaintiffs — under Texas’ multi-district litigation rules. If approved, the plaintiffs will need to consolidate their representation among a much smaller group of attorneys and the case will be overseen by a single judge.
