Travis Scott was questioned \u2018for several hours\u2019 this week over the deadly crush at Astroworld festival.<\/p>\n
In November, 2021,\u00a010 concertgoers died and many more were injured\u00a0when a crowd of roughly 50,000 surged forwards, leaving some unable to breathe.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of lawsuits were filed against\u00a0the Sicko Mode rapper,\u00a0as well as promoters Live Nation and others involved in the event.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, it was ruled that the 32-year-old would not be indicted, and that \u2018no single individual was criminally responsible\u2019 for the tragedy.<\/p>\n
On Monday, AP reports that he was questioned in a deposition in Houston that lasted eight hours, in connection with the lawsuits.<\/p>\n
\u2018Travis Scott\u2019s deposition is typical legal procedure,\u2019 his spokesperson told the outlet in a statement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u2018What is not typical is how the media continues to focus on him despite being cleared of any wrongdoing by extensive government investigations, including by the Houston Police Department.<\/p>\n
\u2018Travis is fully cooperating with the legal process while still remaining committed to his tour in support of his record-breaking album, Utopia, and his charitable efforts to support at-risk communities.\u2019<\/p>\n
On November 5, 2021, more than 50,000 people were in attendance at Scott\u2019s Astroworld Festival when the night ended in tragedy.<\/p>\n
As the musician appeared on stage, concertgoers surged forward, with countless fans trampled and crushed.<\/p>\n
In June, a grand jury in Texas ruled that he will not be indicted over the incident.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
District Attorney Kim Ogg confirmed at the time: \u2018In this instance, the grand jury of the 228th District Court of Harris County found that no crime did occur, that no single individual was criminally responsible.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018While waiting patiently for the District Attorney\u2019s decision to not file charges, Travis Scott has been inaccurately and wrongly singled out, despite stopping the show three separate times and being unaware of the events as they were unfolding,\u2019 his spokesperson later told CNN.<\/p>\n
\u2018Now that this chapter is closed, we hope for the government efforts to focus on what is most important \u2013 stopping future heartbreaking tragedies like Astro world from ever occurring again.\u2019<\/p>\n
Scott\u2019s attorney Kent Schaffer added: \u2018It\u2019s a huge weight that has been removed from his shoulders.<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s looking forward to getting back home after being cleared by the grand jury.\u2019<\/p>\n
