Travis Scott Reportedly Paying For Victims' Funerals But Social Media Believes It Won't Help At All
Travis Scott has been a trending person everywhere since the devastating Astroworld Music Festival in Houston last Friday, which killed eight people and wounded hundreds more.
He just established a partnership with BetterHelp to give free counseling and treatment to people who have been affected by the incident.
The 30-year-old rapper from Houston has also promised to cover the burial costs of the stampede's eight fatalities.

In the wake of the tragedy, reports of him inciting violence in the past have also made their rounds on social media, and people aren't happy.
One Twitter user said, "Travis Scott was like, 'Sorry I don't really regard your kids' safety, but here I'll pay for the funeral.' Like that's supposed to make it all better! "
Another person said, "You are going to do more than pay for a funeral. # TravisScott These people think money can fix everything, but people lose their babies and I don't think that money can fix that."
Another said, frustratedly, "There shouldn't be a reason for him to pay any type of funeral costs whatsoever." There shouldn't even be funerals to begin with. Money isn't going to bring those souls back. Stupid dick riders. "
