Travis Scott

Fans speculated that Scott was blacklisted after the deaths at Astroworld Festival.

This had nothing to do with any restrictions from the hosting venue Hard Rock Stadium.” It certainly doesn’t appear that the Houston rapper has had any troubles getting booked after taking a six-month hiatus from performing. According to a spokesperson, “We reached out to Travis to headline Rolling Loud, but it couldn’t work in such a short time.

On Monday (July 18), Cherif responded to comments on Instagram about the festival line-up change, stating the “venue won't allow Travis because of Astroworld ...

The rapper is also being sued for his 2019 appearance at Rolling Loud, where he allegedly caused a stampede. This cheap opportunism is based on a blatant lie that’s easy to detect.” Fellow rapper Kid Cudi will take over West’s spot on the opening night of the festival instead.

Rolling Loud founder Tariq Cherif posts controversial comment about Travis Scott not replacing Kanye West as Miami headliner.

As a result, Scott, Drake, LiveNation, various security companies and promoters are all the subject of multiple lawsuits. The “Goosebumps” rapper is reportedly a perfectionist when it comes to his stage productions and a week would not be enough time to put together a show he’d find acceptable. Rolling Loud founder Tariq Cherif responded in a now-deleted tweet writing, “venue won’t allow travis because of astroworld deaths,” per TMZ.

Travis Scott isn't replacing Ye at Rolling Loud this year, but according to the festival, the decision came down to incompatible scheduling.

The rapper’s recently been hit with a wrongful death lawsuit filed by a female attendee who lost her unborn child while at Astroworld, and is also fighting a claim that he was the cause of a similar human stampede at Rolling Loud back in 2019. This cheap opportunism is based on a blatant lie that’s easy to detect.” “We reached out to Travis to headline Rolling Loud, but it couldn’t work in such a short time,” a Rolling Loud spokesperson said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “This had nothing to do with any restrictions from the hosting venue Hard Rock Stadium.” (Scott’s reps confirmed to Billboard that Rolling Loud did indeed reach out to the rapper.)
