On April 30, 2017, Kyle Green attended the Travis Scott concert at Terminal 5 in New York City. Green, who was 23 years old at the time, said that during the performance he was pushed down from the balcony on the third floor when he was paralyzed.

Following the tragic incident at the Astroworld music festival headlined by Scott on Friday, November 5th, Green’s lawyer Howard Hershenhorn shared his client’s comments on the news. reaction.

"He was very frustrated and sad about the destruction these people and their families suffered-those who were killed and those who were seriously injured," Hesenhorn told Today. "At the same time, he was very angry with Travis and Travis's team, including his safety, etc., because Travis obviously did not learn from what happened before or what happened before.

On Sunday, Scott’s lawyers were contacted today to comment on the lawsuit, but they did not respond. In court documents obtained today from 2020, Scott denied all the allegations made by Green through his lawyers.

Hershenhorn said that Scott seemed to incite violence in his own lyrics. In the song "Stargazing" on Scott's 2018 Grammy-nominated album "Astroworld", the rapper said: "If it is not injured, it is not a bad pit/I let them bleed on stage."

The lawyer explained that at the Scott concert four years ago, his client stood in front of the top of the balcony, and then he said he was pushed down when he fell to the ground.
