Outside of this thread, the vast majority of people born between 1996-2006 will forever remember Travis as the guy who let those kids die in front of him at his festival as he continued to perform, and then proceeded to never publicly apologise for it, instead resorting to PR tactics to brush it aside as quickly as possible in order to revive his brand.

I wasn’t seeking validation. There is genuine moral and ethical debate here. We are barely 6 months from the tragedy and he’s already started to rollout his new album. It’s insanely callous and insensitive.

Stop defending millionaires online just because you want to consume their next product, they’d step over you if you were dying on the street

He literally cannot apologize for it are you 5 years old or just super ignorant?

Hilarious that you are insinuating I’m ignorant

“He literally cannot apologise”

Yes he can. He can say sorry. He can speak. He can say sorry and still not then be held legally accountable for what happened.

He isn’t guilty of anything, and deserves no direct legal repercussions.

But he can still handle the situation with sensitivity, and mature and respect. Rather than rushing to keep his brand afloat by dropping a new album.

No offence brother I’m an Uzi fan myself but after it came out that Uzi indeed abused his ex (actual intended harm inflicted) you went straight back to hyping him and his new music up as you’re allowed to since this is just about music not the human you can’t be talking about moral debates f*** those tiktok kids everyone with a brain knows who’s really responsible he can start his rollout whenever he wants

You’re absolutely right,

These guys are s***ty people, most people are. Being part of stan-culture you end up doing a lot of mental gymnastics to justify what they do despite how shady it is.

My initial post itt was pretty even-handed though. I’m also very excited about the music. For me, it all just feels too soon. I think I was poking at pretty valid moral questions that exist surrounding him starting his rollout.

Anyway, I won’t start it up again and derail the thread. As you can remember I was a regular in the old Utopia thread me you n spoke a lot

https://abc13.com/travis-scott-astroworld-tragedy-festival-civil-lawsuit/11686041/#:~:text=More%20than%20four%20months%20have,consolidated%20into%20one%20civil%20case.

Court case is still being handled and have gone to a judge already. Guess Travis thinks the court case is too long to wait for the album to drop.

But it still feels like he's would have dropped in Feb if the festival s*** didn't happen.

So is this delay just by a few months?

“As for Scott, what happens from here is a big question. It's believed his new record is done; it was hitherto expected to drop next year ahead of his scheduled Coachella appearance.”

Seems like an April release was in the works since last year, just ahead of Coachella. So if it does actually come out in the next few weeks, it seems like they are sticking with the plan
