Travis Scott has asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit brought against him following the tragedy at his Astroworld concert last month, Rolling Stone reports.
Scott's lawyer filed an answer to a lawsuit brought against the rapper by Jessie Garcia and issued a "general denial" to allegations in the lawsuit that Scott was responsible for the injuries and deaths at the concert.
Ten people have died and hundreds of others were injured during a mass crowd surge during Scott's performance on the opening night of the festival on November 5.
At the time of the tragedy, a section of the 50,000-strong crowd began rushing towards the stage during the rapper's performance.
Festival-goers affected by the crowd surge struggled to breathe, with some losing consciousness, and, as a result, were trampled on by other attendees at the concert.
Scott asked for the suit to be "dismissed with prejudice," meaning it can't be brought against him again.
The filing was made on behalf of Scott and his companies Jack Enterprises, Cactus Jack Foundations, Cactus Jack Records, and Cactus Jack Studios.
There have been close to 300 lawsuits filed against Scott and concert organizers. In one lawsuit, lawyers for Manuel Souza, a Houston resident who was trampled at the festival, said the tragedy was "predictable and preventable."
Rolling Stone reports that Scott denied the allegations in 10 other lawsuits as well. A representative for Scott told the outlet he'll most likely be filing more requests for dismissal.
The outlet reported that the concert's promoters, Live Nation and its subsidiary ScoreMore, also denied allegations against them in filings on Monday, December 6.
The Harris County Sports and Convention Corporation, which owns NRG Park, the venue where the concert was held, also denied the allegations against them.
The combined lawsuits involve 1,250 plaintiffs.
According to Forbes, Scott's representative maintains that he did not have the authority to stop the concert.
His rep added that although he was "not responsible" for the crowd surge, he wants to be "responsible for the solution."
The 10 people who tragically lost their lives at the concert are between the ages of nine and 27: Mirza Baig, 27, Rodolfo Peña, 23, Madison Dubiski, 23, Bharti Shahani, 22, Franco Patino, 21, Axel Acosta Avila, 21, Jacob Jurinek, 20, Brianna Rodriguez, 16, John Hilgert, 14 and Ezra Blount, 9.
