Drake was reportedly questioned for several hours in a deposition tied to hundreds of lawsuits stemming from 2021’s deadly Astroworld Festival, which claimed 10 lives and led to hundreds of injuries. According to Rolling Stone, sources couldn’t offer any details due to a “rigid publicity order.” A rep for Drake said they “didn’t feel it is appropriate to comment on the matter.” Drake’s deposition comes after Travis Scott—the organizer and headliner of the festival—spoke with attorneys in early October after plaintiff attorneys filed an emergency motion to compel production of electronic documents on his cell phone. In September, a lawyer for Scott told the court his client’s phone was lost at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico but added text messages between Scott and his manager, David Stromberg, “would show the vast majority, if not all, relevant texts” from Scott regarding the event. During that hearing, the court and attorneys from both sides determined Scott would have two more days of deposition the following month. Despite Drake’s brief appearance during Scott’s set, he was still named in many of the lawsuits alongside Scott, Live Nation and its subsidiary Scoremore and Apple, which livestreamed the event. In legal filings, Drake has maintained he didn’t take part in planning or organizing the event. A grand jury decided not to file criminal charges against Scott and several other organizers tied to the event, however the victims’ families all sued. Three have since settled, and the first wrongful death suit is currently scheduled for trial next May. Drake did address the tragic turn of events shortly after the incident, writing, “My heart is broken for the families and friends of those who lost their lives and for anyone who is suffering. I will continue to pray for all of them, and will be of service in any way I can, May God be with you all.”

The “ASTROWORLD” rapper has denied he’s a drug addict numerous times over the years, but some people aren’t convinced.
Lil Yachty was scheduled to perform at the Thunderbird Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia on Saturday night (October 22), but the show didn’t go according to plan. Per TMZ, the 26-year-old rapper appeared to encourage the crowd to rush the stage, causing organizers to pull the plug. Concert attendees claimed Lil Yachty was yelling “fill it up” as he started his set. Fans then began climbing over railings and security guards to get to the mosh pit area to be as close to Lil Yachty as possible. After performing three or four songs, Lil Yachty’s mic was cut and the house lights were turned on. Someone then announced over the speaker that if attendees didn’t return to their seats, the show would be canceled. Evidently, they didn’t follow orders quickly enough and the show ended prematurely.

During the show, a crowd surge ultimately led to 10 deaths. Scott faced questioning in a deposition for various lawsuits filed against him last month. It marked the first opportunity for attorneys to question Scott about the horrific incident. “Travis Scott’s deposition is typical legal procedure,” Ted Anastasiou, a spokesperson for Scott, said in a statement. “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. 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.” More than 1,500 cases were filed against Scott and other parties involved in the Astroworld Festival. Live Nation reached settlements with some of the families of victims who died. No charges were filed against Scott following an investigation by the Houston Police Department. A grand jury also declined to indict him and five other people on any criminal counts related to the deadly concert. Police Chief Troy Finner wouldn’t explain his agency’s overall conclusion.
