Eight people have been confirmed dead after day one of Travis Scott‘s ‘Astroworld Festival,’ in Houston, Texas.

According to the Houston Fire Department, the eight confirmed deaths were a result of a crowd surge. 100,000 tickets were sold out within an hour of the Astroworld Festival tickets going on sale back in May. However, there were 500,000 people in attendance. Travis Scott stopped his 75-minute set when he noticed fans were in distress after the crowd began to compress the stage.

Around 9:30 pm, Medics began to perform CPR on victims who began to fall out from the crowd. Fire Chief Samuel Pena, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and Houston Police Chief Troy Finner confirmed during a press conference early Saturday morning (Nov. 6) that at least eight people were confirmed dead and 17 individuals were hospitalized. Eleven of those victims were in cardiac arrest during transport, according to KHOU 11.

“We got to grieve for these families right now,” Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said.” Everybody in our city pray for these families and we got to get through it.” 

In a statement, Astroworld Festival confirmed that the rest of the event has been canceled, adding its “hearts are with the Astroworld Festival family tonight – especially those we lost and their loved ones.”

UPDATE: Travis Scott has released a statement following the tragedy at Astroworld. “I’m absolutely devastated by what took place last night,” he wrote. “My prayers go out to the families and all those impacted by what happened at Astroworld Festival.”

“Houston PD has my total support as they continue to look into the tragic loss of life,” he continued. “I am committed to working together with the Houston community to heal and support the families in need. Thank you to Houston PD, Fire Department and NRG Park for their immediate response and support. Love You All.”

Yung Miami Accused of Transporting 'Pink Cocaine' for Diddy miixtapechiick

Yung Miami has been implicated in an amended lawsuit, alleging her involvement in transporting a substance known as ‘Tuci,’ also referred to as ‘pink cocaine,’ to Diddy.

This potent concoction typically comprises of 2C-B, ketamine, MDMA, and caffeine, with occasional additives like fentanyl. Despite its moniker, ‘pink cocaine’ doesn’t contain actual cocaine but can induce euphoria, heightened energy, and even aid in erectile dysfunction.

The amended lawsuit, now spanning an additional 25 pages, sheds light on the events surrounding the alleged incident. During rehearsals for ‘Something in the Westival’ in Virginia, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, the plaintiff, claims to have personally witnessed Diddy indulging in cocaine. When Diddy expressed a desire for ‘tuci’ but found it unavailable, his Chief of Staff Kristina Khorram reportedly contacted Yung Miami, who subsequently transported it via private jet from Miami.

The revelation comes after the arrest of Brendan Paul, described as Diddy’s “drug mule,” at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport for cocaine and marijuana possession . This occurred while Diddy was undergoing questioning by federal authorities amidst Homeland Security raids on his properties in Los Angeles and Miami.

The lawsuit further outlines the alleged involvement of individuals associated with Diddy, collectively referred to as the Combs Rico Enterprise, in procuring, transporting, and distributing various substances, including ecstasy, cocaine, GHB, ketamine, marijuana, mushrooms, and notably, ‘tuci.’ These substances purportedly found their way into carry-on luggage during both national and international travels, including trips facilitated by Yung Miami on behalf of Diddy.

Diddy Sells His REVOLT Shares As Feds Investigate Him miixtapechiick

Diddy has relinquished his ownership stake in REVOLT, the television network he co-founded in 2013 with Andy Schoun. The sale of his shares to an undisclosed buyer, as reported by TMZ, marks a significant change in the network’s ownership structure. Despite Diddy’s departure, REVOLT remains Black-owned, with the new owner opting to remain anonymous for now. An official announcement introducing the new owner is expected in the near future.

Diddy’s decision to step down as chairman in November came amidst a lawsuit filed against him by former Bad Boy artist and ex-girlfriend Cassie, alleging rape and prolonged physical abuse. However, the parties involved settled the matter amicably soon after.

On Monday (March 25), Homeland Security raided Diddy‘s residences in Los Angeles and Miami, as part of a federal sex trafficking case. Live footage from FOX11 captured the raid, showing Diddy’s sons Justin and Christian ‘King’ Combs, along with others, being detained outside their Beverly Hills home.

Diddy’s attorney, Aaron Dyer, responded to the raid with: “Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences. There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way. There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”
