Travis Scott reportedly faces a financial setback as legal documents obtained by The Blast reveаl that the acclaimed rapper owes over $100,000 in back taxes in the state of California. 

According to a lien from the state’s Franchise Tax Board for the year 2021, Scott’s outstanding amount totals $106,968.18. 

The documents warn of accumulating further fees and interest until the debt is settled. This revelation comes amid Scott’s involvement in ongoing legal battles related to the tragic Astroworld Festival incident in 2021, where ten people lost their lives and numerous others were injured during a crowd surge at his concert in Houston.

Despite the rapper’s approximate net worth of $80 million, as reported by the outlet, financial challenges seem to persist. This tax lien follows closely on the heels of another Astroworld-related lawsuit against Scott, where he and Live Nation were accused of negligence and willful misconduct by a company named Ceremony of Roses (CoR). The lawsuit claims substantial financial harm incurred by CoR after investing in the ill-fated festival.

Scott, who recently expressed being ‘devastated’ by the Astroworld tragedy, has faced emotional turmoil as he grapples with the aftermath. In a recent interview with GQ, he revealed that he thinks about the disаster ‘all the time’ and has experienced ‘rough moments’ while working on his comeback album, Utopia. The tragedy, resulting in the deаth of ten fans, has profoundly impacted Scott, who acknowledges the devastating effect it had on families and the city.

The rapper addressed the challenges of returning to music in the wake of such a traumatic event, emphasizing the therapeutic nature of channeling his energy into production and completing his album. 

Scott expressed his ongoing sorrow for the fans who lost their lives, emphasizing the familial connection he feels with his supporters. Despite the legal and emotional challenges he faces, Scott remаins committed to rectifying the issues surrounding Astroworld, aiming to be a voice for the victims and prevent similar incidents in the future.

As Scott navigates the complexities of legal battles and personal emotions, the tax lien adds another layer to the multifaceted challenges he currently confronts. The financial strain, coupled with the ongoing fallout from Astroworld, underscores the intricate balance between the artist’s career, legal obligations, and personal well-being.
