Festival disaster: Drake dismissed from Astroworld lawsuits

Drake has been dismissed as a defendant in lawsuits relating to the 2021 Astroworld festival disaster.

More than 2,500 people pursued legal action after a crowd crush during Travis Scott’s set left 10 dead and hundreds injured in Houston, Texas in November 2021.

While the majority of lawsuits focused on Scott and the festival organisers, Drake was named as a defendant in some complaints as he made a guest appearance during Scott’s set.

Lawyers for the rapper, real name Aubrey Graham, filed a motion to dismiss him from the lawsuits in March and it was granted this week. Musicnews
