Lil Duval Defends Travis Scott Against 'Astroworld' Backlash

Travis Scott is currently facing a mountain of criticism since eight people died at his Astroworld Festival on Friday after a stampede.

A lot of people have said the rapper should have stopped his performance to keep people from rushing the stage, but others said Scott had no idea what was happening.

Lil Duval is one of the people who's come to Scott's defense and said he shouldn't be blamed.

You can’t blame Travis Scott for that astroworld shit. That could’ve happened at any big event. I’m surprised it ain’t happened sooner. It’s damn near impossible to have that many people in one place with that much energy and nothing happens

Even if they would’ve stopped the event that would’ve made it that crowd stopped. It probably would’ve made it worse

"You can’t blame Travis Scott for that astroworld sh*t," Duval tweeted "That could’ve happened at any big event. I’m surprised it ain’t happened sooner. It’s damn near impossible to have that many people in one place with that much energy and nothing happens ... Even if they would’ve stopped the event that would’ve made it that crowd stopped. It probably would’ve made it worse."

Is Duval right or wrong about Travis and Astroworld?
