Travis Scott Faces Potential Lawsuit After Throwing Fan’s Phone

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.

The rapper held down a DJ set at Nebula nightclub when he got into it with a sound engineer.

New York Post reports Travis Scott plans to turn himself in to authorities next week following his Rolling Loud California set.

The alleged victim, Mark, wouldn’t confirm if he intended to press charges or file a lawsuit against Travis Scott. Mark revealed that he was hospitalized after the alleged assault and couldn’t move his neck. He added that he felt tingles in his arm during an interview with Fox 5 News. “Obviously my neck is f–ked up,” he said. “My arm is tingling. I have pins and needles going down it.” However, he confirmed his discharge from the hospital and his clearance to return to work. Still, he said that he “can’t lift anything over five pounds.”

Mark explained that the incident began during Don Toliver’s set at a Manhattan nightclub. Travis Scott allegedly climbed into the DJ booth, though Mark noticed the distorted sound from the speakers. Mark explained that he tried to tell the rapper to turn down the volume, which is when Scott flipped him off. “So I lowered the monitor a little bit so I could talk to him, and that’s when he ran around the speaker and attacked me,” he alleged. He also claimed Scott’s security threatened his life. We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates surrounding the case.

Where Is Rolling Loud 2023

Starting March 3rd through March 5th 2023, the annual Rolling Loud festival will begin. Making the first of many stops in Inglewood, CA at the Hollywood Park grounds. Inglewood is the first of two stops nationally and one of many internationally.

How It Started

What began in 2015 in Miami as a way to, “create a festival to showcase the best in hip hop music”, has become an annual international sensation. Created by Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif, two best friends who have known each other since their time in Hollywood, FL elementary school. After throwing successful parties in high school their first foray into professional live music was a 2010 after-party. The event was headlined by Rick Ross and was not a success. In fact, it left Ziggler bloodied and in need of stitches. As well as leaving them both out of tens of thousands of dollars. At that point they knew they needed a new game plan.

They began booking rappers both well-known and unknown for dates around the Florida area. They also began to study the way that EDM shows captivate their audiences. Shortly thereafter, Rolling Loud was born. The very first Rolling Loud festival took place February 28th, 2015 at Soho Studios in the Wynwood section of Miami, FL. Big names like Action Bronson, Schoolboy Q, A$AP Ferg, Juicy J, and Curren$y all came together to grace the stage for the day-long event. In the years since then it has grown and expanded to the point that it has gone from one day to a full weekend. It has also gone from one local location to a highly recognized international festival. 

This Year’s Lineup

Rolling loud is considered to be the largest hip hop festival in the world. The focus that it has on hip hop is what sets it apart from other music festivals. Other festivals tend to sprinkle hip hop acts few and far between, while Rolling Loud dedicates its entirety to the genre. This year’s line up is chocked full of big names just as the years prior have been. This year’s festival kicks off with Playboy Carti as the headliner on Friday. He is most known for his hits, “Sky” and “Magnolia”, among a host of others. Set to perform the same day are Kodak Black, Tyga, Trippie Redd, DaBaby, Saweetie, Souljah Boy and 28 other artists as well.

Saturday, the second of the three day long event is headlined by Travis Scott. Other performers taking the stage that day include; Lil Baby, 2 Chainz, Kevin Gates, City Girls and another 34 other artists that were not mentioned. The weekend long hip hop festival concludes with Future as the headliner. As well as special guest Lil Wayne. Other artists set to take the stage are: Lil Uzi Vert, Tory Lanez, MoneyBagg Yo and 40 other performers. So in total there will be over 100 artists taking to the stage in Inglewood this coming weekend.

Ticket Prices

Ticket prices for Rolling Loud range in price depending on what you are looking to get out of the experience. General admission tickets were starting at $329 per person. The prices only go up from there. For the three day VIP passes, they were starting at $849 per person. The VIP Munchie three day pass starts at $999 per person. For almost a thousand dollars, here is the list of perks that are included. Exclusive Front row stage viewing access, access onto festival grounds & VIP Areas, 10 meal tickets to experience all of our food options, exclusive VIP merch pack, air conditioned restrooms, expedited entry into the festival, dedicated private bar, free makeup touch-ups at Bunny’s Bae Bar, dedicated private food & beverage vendors, live art installations, private merchandise store, as well as shaded, chill areas with seating. 

Set Times 

With so many artists performing in just a few days, the outdoor area will be divided among multiple stages. Throughout the varying stages performances with range depending on the artist. They seem to range anywhere from 20 minutes for unknown artists to an hour for headliners.The festival hours are from 3PM till 11PM both Friday and Saturday while Sunday’s festivities begin at 1PM ending at 11PM. Festival goers have had the opportunity upon purchasing their wristbands and downloading the Rolling Loud app to personalize and save a schedule of all of the artists they want to see. The saved schedule shows a list of the artists in order by date and time along with the exact stage that they will be performing on. 

The festival kicks off tomorrow and runs through the fifth of March. From there it will head to the place of its origin in Miami taking over the Hard Rock stadium July 21st through the 23rd. Tickets are still available for purchase through www.RollingLoud.com.

Travis Scott’s Alleged Victim Says Rapper Flipped Him Off Before Punching Him

Travis Scott went into a fit of rage this week following a DJ set in New York City. This week, the rapper got into hot water after an alleged assault on a sound engineer in NYC. According to reports, the rapper unleashed on a man outside of Nebula in New York City and struck the individual in the face. The alleged victim filed a police report but authorities stated that he had no visible injuries. Scott also faces accusations of damaging $12K worth of equipment following the assault on the sound engineer.

Scott has yet to respond to the allegations, though he’s a wanted man in New York City. NYPD said they’re looking for the “SICKO MODE” rapper as a suspect of assault, though there have been conflicting reports surrounding the severity of the incident. Dorian Harrington, who booked Don Toliver’s concert where Scott appeared, told PEOPLE that the reports don’t reflect what he witnessed. “This is a total misunderstanding, and what I saw on stage doesn’t reflect what I read in the news. The music and the night turned out great and everyone left peacefully,” Harrington said. 

Travis Scott’s Alleged Victim Speaks Out 

Fox5 News caught up with the alleged victim, who was identified as Mark, from a hospital bed. “My neck is f**ked up. My arm is tingling. I have pins and needles going down it,” he said. He explained that things started to go left during Scott’s DJ set, which he described as being too loud and distorted. “[Travis Scott] stuck his middle finger in my face,” Mark recalled. “So I lowered the monitor a little bit so I could talk to him, and that’s when he ran around the speaker and attacked me.”

Scott reportedly went on a rampage afterward where he destroyed $12K worth of equipment, including speakers and a visual screen. However, the rapper’s attorney, Mitchell Schuster, said the whole situation is “a misunderstanding being blown out of proportion by clickbait and misinformation.” He added that he believes Scott will be “cleared of any wrongdoing” following a full investigation. Check out Mark’s interview above.

Travis Scott Was Accused Of An Assault At A New York Club That Damaged $12K Of Equipment

Travis Scott spent the past year laying low in the wake of the deaths at his most recent Astroworld Festival, but has been slowly edging his way back into the spotlight. He’s booked a number of headlining festival sets — mainly at Rolling Loud’s various world stops — but it looks like he’s back in the headlines again in a negative way too.

According to TMZ, Travis has been accused of assault by the sound engineer of New York City nightclub Nebula, who says the Houston rapper punched him before trashing a bunch of equipment. The alleged victim says that after an initial disagreement, Scott punched him in the left side of his face and then damaged some speakers and video screens — about $12,000 worth of damage.

Even before the Astroworld disaster, Travis Scott has had a history of legal troubles from some of his over-the-top behavior. In 2015, he was arrested for disorderly conduct after telling fans at Lollapalooza to jump the barricades in front of the stage. Another arrest for inciting a riot came in 2017 after a show in Arkansas that got a little too rowdy. This was after a prior arrest for the same offense earlier that year for encouraging a fan at a New York show to jump from a balcony, injuring themselves in the process.

Travis was in New York Tuesday night (February 28) to support his Cactus Jack artist Don Toliver at a concert. His own next show will be this weekend at — where else? — Rolling Loud Los Angeles.

Travis Scott Allegedly Punched Sound Engineer, Damaged $12K Of Equipment: Report

Travis Scott’s been lowkey in the public eye over the past year and a half. Following the Astroworld Festival tragedy, the rapper’s kept his head down as he works on his next album. Scott’s continuously teased the release of Utopia for a minute now, unveiling singles like “Franchise” to build up the anticipation. However, there have been promising updates in recent times, including one from Epic Records CEO who said the project would drop in June.

Scott hasn’t confirmed the release date but he promised fans the album would arrive soon. He recently said that it would conclude an epic run from the Cactus Jack roster. During a recent performance, he said that fans should expect a new EP from SoFaygo before the release of Utopia. Kicking off the Cactus Jack 2023 releases is Don Toliver who just released Love Sick on Friday and its deluxe on Tuesday – Scott appears on the bonus single “Embarrassed,” produced by Wheezy. Shortly after, Scott appeared at Toliver’s New York City performance, though it looks like things went sideways at some point in the evening.
