On Monday, Travis Scott was questioned for the first time in an 8-hour deposition regarding the multiple lawsuits stemming from the 2021 Astroworld Festival tragedy in Houston, Texas.

Scott’s spokesperson, Ted Anastasiou, told PEOPLE: “Travis Scott’s deposition is typical legal procedure. What 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.”

He added, “Travis 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.”

In June, a Texas grand jury reviewed the possibility of charging Scott and the event planners but ultimately did not file any criminal charges.

According to his attorney, Kent Schaffer, “Today’s decision by the Harris County District Attorney confirms what we have known all along — that Travis Scott is not responsible for the AstroWorld tragedy.”

“This is consistent with investigative reporting by numerous media outlets and federal and state government reports that have squarely placed the onus for event safety crises on organizers, operators, and contractors – not performers,” he said. “While waiting patiently for the District Attorney’s 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. Now that this chapter is closed, we hope for the government efforts to focus on what is most important – stopping future heartbreaking tragedies like Astroworld from ever occurring again.”
As you know, during the Astroworld Festival on November 5, 2021, a crowd of over 50,000 fans surged towards the stage at the start of Scott’s performance, resulting in numerous people losing consciousness or getting trampled.
According to a report from the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences, ten victims of the Astroworld Festival tragedy died from accidental “compression asphyxia.”
