Travis Scott has broken his silence on the Astroworld tragedy, which saw 10 people die at his concert in Houston, Texas.
The rapper sat down with Charlamagne Tha God, for his YouTube channel, and claimed he did everything he could with the knowledge he had at the time.
Opening up, the rapper said: “I’ve been on different types of emotions, an emotional rollercoaster.

“It gets so hard because I always feel connected to my fans, and I went through something and my fans went through something and people’s parents went through something and it really hurts.
“It really hurts the community, it hurts the city. It’s just been a lot of thoughts, a lot of feelings, a lot of grieving, and just trying to wrap my head around it.”
Speaking about the victim’s families, he added: “They lost their loved ones, I just always wanna be there for them.
“I’m gonna fix this problem and make sure this doesn’t happen in the future and be the number one voice for this.
“We gotta figure it out.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Scott also claimed he’d met with some of the families privately.
The 30-year-old went on to say his ‘in-ear’ told him to end the show ‘after the guest,’ which was Drake, and added he had no idea how severe the situation was.
Towards the end of the chat, Charlamagne asked him if he will ‘ever be able to forgive himself’ for what happened.
He responded: “It’s tough, my intentions weren’t to hurt or harm their families, I wanted them to have a good experience, when my fans came to see me it’s a connection.”
