Cancel Culture is real. It’s a living and breathing movement waiting to find new victims. Travis Scott has become a perfect target with around the clock media coverage.
The crime? Leaving 8 dead at the scene, hundreds injured, while the show went on. Clips on YouTube show people getting trampled on before the show even started.
TikTokers have accused the rapper of aligning himself with Lucifer that spreads negative energy. Music publications like Consequence of Sound claimed he encouraged reckless behavior at his concerts and his ex-manager called Scott a terrible human being.
The metal community spoke against Travis and used a mosh pit as an example. “Watch someone fall down in a mosh pit, and instantly 20 or 30 people will pick up the person, and will not resume until it’s clear that person is ok. “I’ve spent the day arguing with people about how safe most rock/metal shows are because artists will pause a concert in a heartbeat” says Corey Taylor of the metal act Slipknot.
Reddit forums are asking Scott and his team to be held accountable. Lawsuits are mounting and the FBI is involved.
Marilyn Manson, DaBaby, and Morgan Wallen were each taught a lesson. The punishment? Dropped from labels, management, radio, and banned from award shows.
If their crime was less than half of the Texas rapper, the penalty and infliction against Travis Scott will be worse.

Astroworld music festival tragedy paves way for satanic conspiracy theories on TikTok.
Theories have thrived with graphic footage, claiming the rapper Travis Scott, who founded and performed at the festival, of orchestrating a massive satanic worship service.
“This ain’t a festival, it’s a sacrifice,” reads one typical comment. “The music industry is demonic and collects souls,” reads another comment with 34,000 likes.
Concert-goers at Travis Scott’s deadly Astroworld festival have described a ‘demonic energy’ they experienced and since then various conspiracy theories have been doing the rounds.
A criminal investigation is underway after the tragedy at the Astroworld Festival that resulted in the loss of 8 blessed souls and hundreds injured.
Multiple lawsuits have been filed claiming Travis Scott and the other organizers put profits over safety.
The civil suits are mounting in this case and the criminal investigation has expanded that involves the FBI.
“We’re working to figure out which entity can do that investigation, because there’s so many different players,” Judge Lina Hidalgo said.
“There are eight promising young people who aren’t at home tonight with their friends and loved ones, and as a result of their untimely, tragic and probably preventable deaths, that situation is probably enough to initiate a criminal investigation to determine whether or not their deaths were something more than simple negligence,” Wice said.
What’s new in South Africa? Not much, other than their internet sucks, except, watch out for South African-based Mikhaela Faye and the new upbeat track “I Don’t Want Your Baby”. You’ll love if you like 80s pop, post-punk, and electronica. She’s landed on Spotify’s New Music Friday Africa and Nightrider.
“The song celebrates the autonomy of being a woman and knowing that your choice is your choice and there is beauty in that,” says the 20 something year old singer songwriter. “If you decide that you want to have a child, then that is a deeply considered thing to do and a huge responsibility. But if you don’t want to, that’s also great.”
