Drake hosted a party for Travis Scott after 8 people were killed at the concert. Travis Scott was able to join his friends and enjoy the party despite it being cancelled mid-show.
Scott, aged 30, was interrupted Friday evening by paramedics in Houston. The ambulances prevented Scott from finishing his set and the show had to be canceled.
During a song, at around 9:30pm, Scott stops the music and, seeing an ambulance arrive, says: ‘What the f*** is that?’
He continues on.
Live Nation quit the concert about 30 minutes before it was scheduled, at around 10.10pm. This is 40 minutes after the officials of the city said that the’mass casualty’ event had already begun.
The ambulances and the “mass casualty” declarations had caused the show to be called off. Drake then went to Houston’s sports bar to celebrate with Drake, who was also on the stage.

At 2pm on Friday hundreds stormed into the VIP entry of the festival. Eleven people died in the crowd a few hours later.

“As regards timing, this is consistent with the fact no one, including police, had publicly confirmed that the gravity of what had happened.”
According to a source, Scott left the party after it became clear that many people had died.
Scott’s presence at the party, however – held at Dave & Buster’s, a sports bar chain frequently used by Drake to host his events – will heap pressure on the Houston-born rapper.
