Four more families of Astroworld victims Jacob Jurinek, Franco Patino, Axel Acosta, and John Hilgert have all come forward to deny Travis Scott’s offer to cover funeral expenses, claiming the act to be “disingenuous” and an attempt “to lessen the public outcry on [Scott’s] case.” This news comes soon after the family of 9-year-old victim Ezra Blount first rejected the rapper’s offer.
According to Philip Corboy, the attorney for the Jurinek and Patino families, Scott communicated the financial support through “a piece of paper in the mail from a lawyer in Beverly Hills.”
“If you gave a s—t about these families,” said Tony Buzbee, representing Axel Acosta. “You wouldn’t have to put out a press release for everyone to see saying he’s willing to pay for a funeral.”
Travis Scott, Drake, Live Nation, and other Astro World organizers are facing a $2 billion lawsuit.
