| 2015, 2017 | Travis Scott has repeatedly faced legal consequences for encouraging fans to breach security barriers or rush stages.

In 2017, he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct following an incident in which he was accused of encouraging a crowd to rush the stage, resulting in injuries. | Source |
| 2021 | A crowd surge at Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival in Houston resulted in the deaths of ten people and hundreds of injuries. Scott was among those named in subsequent civil lawsuits alleging inadequate safety measures and planning. A grand jury later declined to indict him, finding no criminal responsibility. Multiple wrongful-death and injury cases were subsequently settled. | Source |
| Following the Astroworld disaster, Scott launched Project HEAL with $5 million in funding, including an initiative with the U.S. Conference of Mayors to research large-event safety and develop recommendations for safer concerts and festivals. | Source |
