As new details begin to emerge about what happened at Astroworld on Friday (Nov.5), the rapper was reportedly seen at a Dave & Busters after-party saying he was unaware of the tragedy unfolding at the festival.

According to TMZ, sources close to the rapper claim he was never told that fans had died in the crowd and hundreds more were injured. The sources told the outlet, "Travis didn't know the severity of the situation when he arrived at the party, as far as timing, this remains consistent with the fact that no one including the police had publicly confirmed the gravity of the events that had taken place."

Drake, who appeared as a special guest for Scott's headlining set, threw the after-party; sources told the outlet that the Certified Lover Boy was also unaware of the tragedy.

The outlet reports that when the Cactus Jack founder was told about the tragedy at Dave & Busters, he immediately left the party.

As we "previously, eight people have died and dozens hospitalized due to the crowd surge at Astroworld. Travis, Drake and Live Nation have all been named in at least three lawsuits regarding the tragedy at the Houston festival. The "Love Galore" rapper has offered to pay for the funeral costs of the eight victims and has partnered with the online therapy service BetterHelp to aid in the healing of the surviors of the festival.
