    He could have stopped the show when he saw ambulances in the crowd... or when the festival was declared a Mass Casualty Event... or when his fans started chanting "Stop the Show!"

    He once stopped a show when he lost a shoe... one of 100s that he gets for free from Nike.

    If he could do that for a Nike... he could do that for people's lives.

    the girl in the video even posted on her instagram not to harass the camera man—he's actually the one who first called for help after this video and people are sending him and his wife and kids death threats and s---, it's f----- up

    This s--- is tragic. Rest of the festival has been cancelled and is now an active crime scene. s-----y security and way too overcrowded, many people started having cardiac arrests. I also heard something about drugs laced with fentanyl being passed around through the crowd. This is definitely the organizers fault at most, but who the f--- hits random drugs being passed around at a concert. People gotta use their brains more and not use living in the moment as an excuse for dumb s---.

    If you see the vids, he watched from like 3-4 metres away while the crowd had to pass a dead body out of the crowd to paramedics. I dunno maybe at that point you stop and go "Hey is that guy dead?" Instead of singing autotune s--- and watching? It's not his fault it happened, but it's his fault for not stopping after seeing hearing about it

    There is a 9 year old kid who will probably eventually die or just barely live handicapped.


    Travis picked some weird lanes to exploit... he wanted to be the laid back drug guy who smokes weed and drinks lean and mumbles into autotune... and the hardcore guy who likes occult artwork and encourages crowd k--- style mosh dancing... and Barney who sells McDonald's happy meals and Legos.

    I guess he was worried about leaving some money on the table.


    He's about to meet some people who won't be trying to leave money on the table either.

    i keep thinking about how much worse this would have been had it happened in the summer. texas heat ain't no joke people die of heat stroke on regular days just being outside let alone from running around a festival all day and dehydrating themselves with drugs and alcohol.

    Feel like people are really reaching on this. Anyone who's been to any concert let alone a concert of that size would know that performers wouldn't immediately notice a few people collapsing in the crowd when they do it's unlikely their immediate reaction is to assume "people are dying stop everything"



    They're making it sound like he performed through the Bataclan massacre or something

    seeing a few ppl who were there say it was OVER a hundred dead, unbelievable..i’m just not sure how it went on for as long as it did

    i tuned in shortly after it started and the set looked like the devils playground, went to sleep and they dead..they’ll say it’s not trav fault but there were several moments where you can see he sees what’s going on and all these n----s do is get ppl to “rage”

    venue will obviously sued into oblivion, hopefully nobody takes any settlements cause allowing the show to even start with ppl breaking down the gate with no tickets is pure negligence and disregard for human life

    Great Value A$AP Rocky is f-----. More people need to hate Drake for being the type of fella to jump on stage after a Mass Casualty Event has been declared.

    right but you’re saying he’s a dumb reckless a------ which is fair. Not that it was an orchestrated premeditated satanic murder ritual/sacrifice which some people are unironically saying

    Even if he didn't see something was going on, they would have told him after the show. And dude went to the after party like nothing happened.
