Travis Scott Works With Music, Tech & Political Leaders To Improve Concert Safety Amid Astroworld Tragedy

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Rick Kern / Getty Travis Scott is continuing his hope-for-redemption tour following his deadly Astroworld concert that ended in 10 people losing their lives and countless others being injured.

According to Variety, the “Highest In The Room” rapper has been taken off Coachella’s 2022 lineup due to the backlash that keeping him on the roster might get them as a Change.org petition to kick him off...
