Travis Scott earlier this week.After Kanye West pulled out of this year’s event many fans speculated that Scott would be the perfect replacement.But Cherif quickly shut down the possibility of that happening after he responded to fan comments online, stating that “the venue won’t allow Travis because of Astroworld deaths”.Scott is currently facing several lawsuits after the 2021 crowd crush during his headlining set at Astroworld 2021 left 10 people dead and many more injured.But Cherif has since retracted his comments according to TMZ which claims that Tariq said Rolling Loud actually did reach out to Scott to headline the event, but “it couldn’t work in time”.His comment mirrors a statement from a spokesperson for the festival who told Rolling Stone: “We reached out to Travis to headline Rolling Loud, but it couldn’t work in such a short time. This had nothing to do with any restrictions from the hosting venue Hard Rock Stadium.”NME has contacted a spokesperson for Rolling Loud for further comment.Kid Cudi – a longtime colleague of West’s – has since stepped in to headline the first night of the event this Friday (July 22).
