Drake apparently ignored the advice of his counsel and is speaking out about the tragic deaths during Travis Scott‘s Astroworld Festival.
In a post on his Instagram page on Tuesday, Drake called the stampede that resulted in 8 deaths a “devastating tragedy.”
“I hate resorting to this platform to express an emotion as delicate as grief but this is where I find myself. My heart is broken for the families and friends of those who lost their lives and for anyone who is suffering.”
The Emo rapper added:
“I will continue to pray for all of them, and will be of service in any way I can. May God be with you all.”

Travis Scott faces lawsuits from injured victims and families of deceased fans. Drake is also named in at least one lawsuit for “inciting the crowd.”
Drake was a special guest at the concert and was not a scheduled act.
An Astroworld Festival attendee has filed a lawsuit against Drake and is seeking $1 million in damages.
The victim claims the rapper joined Travis Scott as a surprise onstage guest and “helped incite the crowd” to a level that was “out of control.”
