Drake, Travis Scott sued over deadly Astroworld festival crowd crush

Travis Scott and Canadian rapper Drake are being sued over the deadly crowd crush that occurred during the Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas on Friday night.

Both Drake and Scott are being sued for negligence stemming from Friday's incident that left at least eight people dead and dozens more injured.

Drake was a surprise guest who appeared on stage with festival headliner Travis Scott as 50,000 people rushed towards the stage.

According to the lawsuit, obtained by CTV News, Drake "helped incite the crowd" alongside Scott "as the crowd became out of control."

"Drake even continued to perform on stage while the crowd mayhem continued," the lawsuit alleges.
