Travis Scott has opened up about the Astroworld Festival tragedy, which left 10 dead and hundreds injured in 2021.
Kylie Jenner's ex says that "devastating" night is one he'll never forget.
Scott spoke about the horrific incident in an interview with GQ, saying: "That moment for families, for the city, you know, it was devastating."
The rapper added: “I always think about it. Those fans were like my family. You know, I love my fans ... You just feel for those people. And their families.”
GQ asked if the tracks he recorded after the horrors in Houston, Texas, reflected his thoughts about the tragic event.

He appears to think so, saying his music is always about events in his life.
Scott says recording music again after Astroworld was "therapeutic," adding he was "able to channel some of the energy into production and sounds and finishing it.”
In July, he dropped his album, Utopia, marking the first album he released since his Astroworld tour.
In his song Meltdown, Scott also seems to throw some shade at ex Kylie's rumored new boyfriend Timothée Chalamet when he references Willy Wonka.

Scott has claimed he wasn’t made aware of the severity of the Astroworld tragedy as it unfolded while he was on stage.
In a new 1,266-page investigation document that was released today by police, Scott detailed his knowledge of the events.
In November 2021, on the first day of Scott's two-day music festival event, crowds devolved into a stampede as the evening drew on.
When Scott hit the stage at 9pm, following Drake, the crowd surged towards the main stage causing chaos.
The panic resulted in some audience members getting crushed as everything got out of control.
Last month, a Grand Jury ruled that Scott and his team would not be facing criminal charges for what happened at the event, however the musician still faces civil charges.
According to TMZ, who acquired a copy of the lengthy report, Scott stated he wasn’t made aware of what was happening until after his performance.
In an interview with Houston Police in the days following the incident, Scott contributed to the investigation to explain what he had heard and experienced as the stampede took over.
He didn’t realize there was a commotion in the crowd as he was focused on performing, and it was only when he was put onto a crane that lifted him above the stage that he noticed someone getting medical attention.
While he saw lights in the crowd, the audience responded to him positively when he asked if everyone was doing OK.
Two or three songs in on the elevated platform he saw someone waving him down, prompting him to try and get the crowd under control and for medical attention to be brought out.
He claims at no point was he told the issue had reached an emergency level, only told over his earpiece to “make this the last song” and later told to “wrap it up as it’s gettin’ kinda hectic out here."
