Travis Scott filmed ‘telling fan to jump from balcony onto crowd below’ at 2017 gig that left concert-goer paralyzed
A RESURFACED video from 2017 shows the moment performer Travis Scott encouraged a fan to drop from a second-floor balcony into the crowd below.
The video began circulating online after eight people were killed at the rapper's Astroworld Festival in Houston on Friday.
From there, Scott asks for the lights to be turned on before addressing the fan, saying, "I see you, but are you gonna do it?"
Scott then reassures him, "They gonna catch you. Don't be scared. Don't be scared!"
'ARE YOU GONNA DO IT?'
The fan then appears to willingly drop on the onlookers below – though it was not reported whether he suffered any injuries.
Green said that he was forced over the edge of a railing at the event, which, he added, was "severely crowded" and out of control.
The 27-year-old reportedly broke several bones in the fall, including vertebrae.
According to a lawsuit filed six months after the incident, Green says he was hauled off the floor by show staff “without a cervical collar, backboard and other safety precautions.”
Scott had briefly stopped the show at 9:42pm, calling for help for a concertgoer who had passed out. He then resumed the show, reports.
Victims of the tragedy include 21-year-old student Axel Acosta and schoolboy John Hilgert, who was just 14.
Student Franco Patiño, 21, Danish Baig, 27, Brianna Rodriguez, 16, Jacob Jurinek, Madison Dubiski, 23, and Rudy Peña, 23, are also among the victims.
Scott, Drake, and Astroworld festival organizers Live Nation are reportedly being sued for damages following the fatal tragedy in Texas on Friday.
