Travis Scott Faces Potential Lawsuit After Throwing Fan’s Phone

by

Travis Scott was out of control in New York City this week. We previously reported that the “SICKO MODE” rapper faces potential charges following an alleged altercation with a sound engineer earlier this week. The man, who identified as only Mark, said the rapper punched him in the face, leaving him hospitalized. Though he didn’t confirm whether or not he would press charges, Scott’s team reportedly arranged for his return to NYC next week to speak to detectives.

The rapper allegedly fled the club to take a private jet to California after things went sour during the show. Mark said that the rapper attacked him after asking to turn the volume down since a distorted sound came out of the speakers. However, the rapper allegedly lost his cool and assaulted the engineer before destroying $12K worth of equipment in the venue. However, it wasn’t just equipment that he destructed during his alleged rampage at Nebula in Manhattan.

Travis Scott Faces Potential Lawsuit

Mark wasn’t the only victim who faced Scott’s wrath in New York City. Moments before the alleged attack, Travis apparently got into it with a fan who tried to film him behind the DJ booth. A new video emerged showing the individual getting a close-up of Scott who looks up and proceeds to reach for the phone. The video gets blurry afterward but the phone owner told TMZ that the rapper tossed the phone, which hit his head and cracked the screen. 

This is turning out to be another avoidable headache for Scott following the alleged assault on the sound guy. Unlike Mark, the phone owner said that he lawyered up with plans to file criminal charges and a civil lawsuit. The individual said that the owners of Nebula tried to offer his table free liquor for the incident but he ultimately refused. It seems as though Scott might end uphaving to answer for this upon his return to New York City following his headlining performance at Rolling Loud California this weekend. We’ll keep you posted on any more updates surrounding the situation. You could watch the footage of Scott’s phone toss above.

Meek Mill’s Phone Stolen On Ghana Trip

by

One of the best Philly rappers took a nice vacation this week for a performance, and it was eventful to say the least. A pickpocket stole Meek Mill’s phone during his trip to Ghana, prompting him to ask for help on his Instagram story. The “Dreams & Nightmares” MC headlined the Afro Nation concert on Thursday night (December 29th). Also, the incident comes after he bailed 20 incarcerated women out of jail to be with their families for the holidays.

As proven on this trip, that good karma comes back to reward you when you’re feeling low. Meek fortunately got his phone back, and thanked the crew that got it to him on his Instagram story.

“I wanna say thank you guys for getting this phone back to my life, man,” the 35-year-old said. “Y’all ain’t let ’em hack me or nothin’, did you, Commander?” He spoke to a Ghanan official who was seemingly escorting the phone-rescuing entourage. Also, he captioned the story post with “All my lil chicks was scared lol thankyouuuu.”

Moreover, video clips of Meek before he hit the Afro Nation stage show the chaos the phone might’ve been lost in. Dozens of people gathered around the Philly rapper. “They roughed me tf upppppp but the love overpowered it…” he wrote on Instagram. “Almost went from dreams to nightmares quick lol.”

Besides the crowds and almost-robbery, Meek had a ball in Ghana. As the Internet does, fans were quick to identify a woman who Meek was filmed riding an ATV with. Still, amid fans and admirers, it seemed the streets were all for it. When his phone was stolen, even Ghana musicians like dancehall artist Shatta Wale called for action.

“Streetz, if you know you have Meek Mill’s phone, please return if that’s true,” he tweeted. “You can’t do that to a real hustler. By [tomorrow] morning, return a.m. Meek inspires all of us on the street a lot.”
