Couldn’t happen to a better person. So much is coming to the lawyers from cellphone evidence.

Keep in mind that, if successful, the lawsuits may put an end to ALL concerts and live entertainment venues.
Possibility of injuries and $Millions in lawsuits is priced into the insurance for live concerts. Insurance cost is built into the ticket price too. Now imagine $2 Billion to $3 Billion in insurance. Now imagine that everyone and everything involved (promoters, artists, venue, organizers, security) is getting sued, so they all become liable.
The industry won't see this as a rap music only thing. It can happen in rock concerts or country music concerts the same. It could happen at a jazz festival. It can happen at a 4th of July festival. The lawsuit amounts could be the same.
In that case, insurance costs may raise ticket prices by $50 each to cover the $2 Million cost of a $2 Billion insurance policy. Only exception may be events with strictly assigned seating (sports venues). No more mosh pits, no more crowded area in front of the stage, no more general lawn seating.
I don't care for Travis Scott or rap music at all. However, if the high lawsuits are successful... it will affect ALL concerts from here on.
OK. I don't see a problem with this. Maybe these overpriced "celebrities" will stop performing. Seems like a win to me.
