The attorney representing the family of the 10-year-old boy who tragically lost his life at Travis Scott‘s Astroworld concert has criticized the rapper’s team for accusing the police of trying to undermine his new album by releasing their investigation.
Bob Hilliard, the lawyer representing the family of the deceased Ezra Blount, informed TMZ … “These comments from an artist who relies on music for a living are surprisingly ignorant considering the preventable tragedy that claimed numerous lives and caused countless injuries.”
Ezra met his untimely demise at the concert, and the family’s attorney is not pleased with the narrative being pushed by Travis’ camp.
As we previously reported, one of Travis’ lawyers suggested that the release of the 1,266-page investigation by the Houston Police Department was an intentional move to harm the success of his album “Utopia,” a stance that was later reiterated by one of Travis’ representatives.
The attorney for the Blount family disagrees with this viewpoint and states, “Rather than focusing solely on how the release of the report may affect their album sales, they should acknowledge the contents of the report itself.”

One of the key highlights in the report that caught the attention of the Blount family’s attorney were text messages from a contracted worker, who warned an event organizer, “Someone is going to die”, after witnessing people being crushed in the crowd.
While Travis himself was not charged with a crime, the Blount family is one of the parties involved in a lawsuit against the Houston rapper. Their attorney insists that the police investigation is “damning” and proves that Travis bears responsibility for the death of their child.
Hilliard further comments, “For Mr. Scott and his team to dismissively claim innocence just because he wasn’t indicted is an arrogant and disrespectful response to the memory of 10-year-old Ezra and the other victims of that dreadful night.”
