Youngest Astroworld Victim Has Rejected Travis Scott Attempt To Pay For Funeral Cost
Youngest Astroworld Victim Has Rejected Travis Scott Attempt To Pay For Funeral Cost.
The nine-year-old Ezra Blount was the youngest Astroworld victim.
According to Ezra’s father, he was on his shoulders when they were crushed by the crowd surge. Dad lost conscience and when he woke up, Ezra was gone. They found him in the hospital severely injured. He died days later.
Scott reached the family and tried to pay the funeral bills, but he was rejected.
“Your customer offer is rejected” Blount family’s lawyer responded to Scott in November 29th. “I do not doubt that Scott feels remorse. His journey will be painful. He must appeal and hope that he bears one of the responsibilities of this tragedy.”
By accepting Scott’s compensation, the Blount family will weaken their case to sue Travis Scott to court.
They have also refused Travis Scott’s offer to meet them.
Half of the families of Astroworld victims who died at the festival last month declined the rapper’s offer to pay for the funeral.
Scott offers to take care of the funerals of all the victims. However, Rolling Stone reports that the families of five victims declined his offer.
This lawsuit is just one of many lawsuits against Travis Scott, Live Nation and other parties involved in the festival.
