日前於休士頓舉辦的 Astroworld Festival 發生踩踏意外，至今共造成 10 人死亡，年齡分佈在 9 至 27 歲區間。目前活動已全面取消，並向當日參與者全額退票，然而事態嚴峻，許多音樂節相關人物皆面臨數起訴訟。近日，律師 Tony Buzbee 更於 Instagram 表示其將代表 125 位與會者，包括 21 歲死者 Axel Acosta 的家人，向 Travis Scott、Drake、Live Nation 和 Apple Music 提起 $7.5 億美元的賠償訴訟。

「再多的錢也無法彌補原告的損失，再多的錢也不能讓人重生。但本案中要求的損害賠償是為了修復、協助或補償這些原告所遭受的損害。」Tony Buzbee 聲明，「許多人骨折、膝蓋扭傷或其他部位受傷，甚至有心理傷害。我們預計將盡快代表另外 100 人提吿。」並稱受到各地的幫助，目前團隊正竭力於現場蒐集證據、不同角度的錄像，且已聽取至少 50 位證人的陳述。

“Many of the clients named in this lawsuit suffered broken bones, or twisted knees, or orthopedic injuries. Many have psychological injury. I expect we will file on behalf of another 100 individuals very soon. I have been in contact with defense counsel for many of the entities sued, to include Live Nation. Our team has toured the site and collected evidence. We have taken statements from more than fifty witnesses. We have collected hours of video tape from almost every angle. No amount of money will fix what occurred on the night of November 5. However, based on what I know now, to include what I learned during discussions with opposing counsel, it is my firm belief that every individual who attended that concert and who suffered injury will be fairly compensated. I intend to make sure of it.”

截至現今，Travis Scott 等相關人士或機構尚未對此回應；同時，Nike 官方則公告：「因音樂節悲劇事件的影響，出於對每個受害者的尊重，我們決定推遲 Air Max 1 x Cactus Jack 的發佈。」此款為與 Travis Scott 推出的聯名鞋款，各位讀者敬請關注後續消息。
