The hip-hop world suffered huge losses back in November of 2021. Of course, we are referring to when at least eight concertgoers lost their lives at the Astroworld Festival. It is crazy to think that it was nearly three years ago, and that night will never be truly forgotten. There is still a lot of uncertainty surrounding it, with families still looking for some answers. However, while Drake was certainly heartbroken, he also feels that his name should be removed from the Astroworld lawsuits.
AllHipHop reports that Drake’s legal team is arguing that his lack in planning makes him not liable. Their motion reads, “Mr. Graham did not receive any security briefings, was not informed of any crowd control issues, injuries or deaths in the crowd, or any stop show orders at any time either before or during his 14-minute performance.” Furthermore, they are saying that since he was “under oath” to not having any input on planning the event, there is no reason for Drake’s name to be tied up.

Drake’s Legal Team Speaks Out
Drake and his team certainly have a compelling argument. All around this was a very poorly planned event, with security measures taking a backseat. It makes sense why Travis Scott, Live Nation, Scoremore, and Apple, are receiving the bulk of the lawsuits. Unfortunately, it may be a little while longer before anything truly happens. We continue to send our thoughts and condolences to the families who lost their kids that night.
