Does Travis Scott own Astroworld?

Back in 2017, Travis launched his own label called Cactus Jack Records. His 2018 album, "Astroworld," was his first full-length release under his label. The album went on to become the inspiration for his yearly festival of the same name. Travis is indeed the owner of Astroworld, both the title and the festival.

According to Gerben Law, Travis trademarked the name "Astroworld" for use on his album, branded merchandise, his yearly Texas-based festival, and a slew of other things. Some of the other trademarked phrases that Travis has claimed over the years include "Look Mom I Can Fly," "No Bystanders," and "Wish You Were Here."

Lawsuits were filed against Travis Scott and Drake over the tragic deaths at Astroworld 2021.

Lawsuits emerged against Travis, Drake, Live Nation, and other controlling entities after the tragic events of Astroworld 2021. According to CBS, plaintiff Kristian Paredes filed a civil suit against Travis and Drake, blaming the two stars for purposely inciting "a riot and violence."

The lawsuit further states that Travis "had incited mayhem and chaos at prior events" and that the proper steps to prevent or mitigate that behavior, such as having enough security and medical professionals/equipment on site, were not taken. On Drake's end, the plaintiff claimed that the rapper "helped incite the crowd even though he knew of [Travis's] prior conduct," and added that he "continued to perform on stage while the crowd mayhem continued."

Kristian's representatives said that he was at the front of the crowd when it "became chaotic and a stampede began." As a result, he "suffered severe bodily injuries" that "had a serious effect on the plaintiff's health and well-being." His is not the only case to emerge from the event so far either, as other plaintiffs also came forward seeking $1 million each in damages for what happened to them at the festival.

All 10 lawsuits filed against Travis have reportedly been settled.

Travis Scott was arrested in June 2024 for disorderly intoxication in Miami.

Travis found himself in more legal trouble after he was arrested on June 20, 2024, over a verbal altercation with folks on a yacht at the Miami Beach Marina. Ironically, his arrest coincided with singer Justin Timberlake's DWI arrest just two days prior in the Hamptons. Police were called after an argument broke out between Travis and the occupants of the vessel. Initially agreeing to leave, he later returned to the yacht, as reported by NBC News, causing continued disturbance.

Travis's behavior was described as being "erratic," and police reportedly said there was a heavy odor of alcohol coming from his breath, resulting in him being detained for disorderly intoxication and booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

His legal representative later issued a statement, per NBC News, saying, “Mr. Scott was briefly detained due to a misunderstanding." He added, "There was absolutely no physical altercation involved, and we thank the authorities for working with us towards a swift and amicable resolution.”

While a criminal charge like Travis's might send most people spiraling, he turned it into a money-making opportunity. Shortly after his arrest, he hopped on Instagram to promote custom merch: a t-shirt with his mug shot, complete with a smiling pose (as seen above).

Despite Travis's ability to find a silver lining in his disorderly intoxication arrest, he found himself in trouble with the law again in August 2024.

While visiting the Georges V hotel in Paris, Travis was arrested after an altercation with his personal bodyguard, which drew attention from hotel security. A source familiar with the incident told TMZ that Travis was unhappy with his security guard’s performance, leading to the fight. After hotel security intervened, Travis was taken into police custody. TMZ reports that no charges have been filed against him at this time.
