Travis Scott Had A History Of Mocking Injured Concertgoers Before Deadly ‘Astroworld’ Incident

Rapper Travis Scott had a history of bragging about and making fun of fans who passed out or were injured while attending his concerts, even before the deadly fan stampede that took place at his “Astroworld” music festival in Houston Friday night.

The New York Post compiled a number of Instagram posts in which Scott celebrated fans who were hurt during his concert.

“TO THE KID THAT DIDNT SURVIVE THE RODEO. UR A HERO IN MU BOOK,” Scott wrote in a caption underneath a photo of a young man who passed out during Scott’s 2015 concert with Young Thug at Webster Hall in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan. The photo was posted the day after the show. Just before that photo was posted, a video of Scott performing his song “Quintana in NYC” was posted to his page, with the caption “BEFORE A KID PASS OUT,” seemingly referring to the unconscious fan.

Another photo posted to Instagram several weeks after showed another fan passed out at the final concert of Scott’s 2015 tour. “Last day of tour was tonight very wild. To that kid who blackout. Ur a hero,” Scott captioned the post. Scott seemingly had a trend of calling the unconscious or injured fans “heroes.” Scott posted another picture in 2014, screencapped by TMZ, of a fan passed out at a show, with the simple caption, “WTF.” As of the publishing of the New York Post piece, the photos were still available on Scott’s Instagram page. As of the publishing of this article, they have been removed.

Scott also posted images of injured fans with captions. “SHE BROKE HER HAND AND SHE DOESN’T GIVE A F***!!!” read one caption. “IT’S NOT A SHOW UNTIL SOMEONE PASS OUT,” read another. Another image screencapped by the Post shows a young man smiling while bleeding from his eye, with the caption, “I love u.”

Fans were shocked by the posts and commented on them in light of the “Astroworld” tragedy. “There’s no way you posted this in real life,” one follower wrote in the comments of one post, via the New York Post. “Dam these post not looking good years later,” wrote another. “Damn wtf he really did post this s–t,” another fan replied. “This is f—ing disgusting you are so f—ing negligent,” replied another. One fan commented that Scott was “bout to be big bankrupt” because of the multiple lawsuits being filed against him in
