“It just felt like we [were] like, literally, like in f***ing hell, bro. It felt like we [were] in a concert in hell. You couldn’t breathe. You couldn’t see. Just imagine all the people they are going to find tonight who [were] in that crowd who nobody could see, who nobody could hear who passed out. And everybody was just trampling on top of them in the whole f***ing concert,” he said.
“It was so many bodies who [were] laid out. People were getting pulled out who was fainted. The managers were trying to give them CPR and they were flipping them over and they were literally turning black and blue. [I’ve never seen death] in my f***ing life bro,” he continued. “That was demonic shit. What was so crazy – people were screaming, ‘Help!’ trying to tell Travis Scott. The whole crowd was going, ‘Help! Help!’ and he just kept going, bro. It was scary – it was so demonic.”

Scott is seen in video watching paramedics carry out a member who died in his audience as he continued to sing, but he claimed on Sunday that he would have stopped the show if was aware people were in danger.
“My fans really mean the world to me and I always just really want to leave them with a positive experience,” Scott said in a statement on Twitter, as he shuts his eyes and profusely rubs his forehead. “Anytime I can make out anything that’s going on, I would stop the show and you know, help them get the help they need. I could just never just imagine the severity of the situation.”

The rapper, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster, is now facing lawsuits filed by concertgoers who were injured in the crowd.
Scott kicked off the show standing in front of a fiery, hellish mountain and a giant eyeball that gazed at the public.
