Travis Scott’s phone is reportedly lost at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico so Astroworld lawyers can’t get to his cell records.
Travis Scott Sits for Deposition
On Monday (Sept. 18), Travis Scott sat in for a civil deposition in Texas for lawsuits filed in connection to the 2021 Astroworld Festival mass casualty event, which claimed the lives of 10 people. The rapper fielded questions about the night of the tragic event. However, his phone records were unable to be looked at because the device was lost at sea, according to Travis’ attorney. On Thursday (Sept. 21), Rolling Stone reported Astroworld plaintiffs’ filed a motion to get their hands on La Flame’s cell data, only to be told the information was unretrievable. The rapper’s attorney told them the phone fell off a boat nearly two years ago and is at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs reportedly claimed Travis’ legal team previously objected to giving up the cell phone info because it was “seeking confidential and/or sensitive information,” and that it was “seeking the disclosure of documents that are unreasonably cumulative or duplicative of other of the requests.”
