Travis Scott didn't have the authority to stop Astroworld concert, spokesperson says

Despite criticism from officials in Houston, Scott's spokesperson and former Baltimore mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, told "CBS Mornings" on Friday that the idea that Travis Scott could have halted the Astroworld music festival is "ludicrous."

"They have a 59-page operations plan, and it clearly says the only two people that are, have the authority to stop the concert, were the executive producer and the concert producer. He was not responsible for this, but he wants to be responsible for the solution," said Rawlings-Blake. 

Nine people died at the concert in Houston last Friday. A "mass casualty event" was declared shortly after Scott began his performance.
