Following the grand jury's decision not to press criminal charges against Travis Scott over the fatal Astroworld crowd surge of 2021, the rapper's crowds are continuing to be a fearfully powerful force. Scott's recent performance in Milan actually persuaded residents of the Northern Italian city that an earthquake was in progress.
According to local news reports, the crowd of 80,000 that gathered for the MC's June 30 performance at La Maura racetrack despite torrential rains had locals believing that an earthquake was happening.
A video from RaiNews shows toys moving on a vibrating surface, as well as houseplants, shaking while Scott took to the stage for his high-octane set. The "delirious" crowd's movement, as well as the decibel levels the sound system was reaching, created the perfect storm to convince people in nearby residential neighbourhoods that it was an earthquake.
Fan footage from the show sees Italian Ragers (members of Scott's fanbase) doing what they do best — raging. Although the rapper wasn't charged for the tragic mass death event that forced him to take some time off from performing, several lawsuits filed by injured Astroworld attendees accused Scott of "inciting the crowd" and encouraging a dangerous environment.
Last year, he announced an event safety initiative to gather stakeholders from government, public safety, emergency response, health care, event management, music and technology departments to research the safety challenges of large-scale events.
