Drake Spotted For First Time Since Being Sued Following Appearance At Travis Scott's Deadly Astroworld Festival
Drake has been spotted for the first time since he was sued for his special appearance at the Astroworld Festival that left eight people dead and hundreds injured.
In pictures obtained by Page Six, the "Mob Ties" rapper, 35, was photographed exiting his private jet after landing in his hometown of Toronto, Canada on Tuesday, November 9.
Drake appeared downcast as he covered himself in a black hoodie as he carried luggage to an awaiting vehicle.
The Grammy winner's homecoming comes after he was sued along with Travis Scott for the crowd surge during the November 5 concert that cost eight fans their lives.
In a lawsuit filed on Sunday, November 7, on behalf of injured concert attendee Kristian Paredes, 23, — her attorney Thomas J. Henry accused both Drake and Scott of "inciting the crowd." The lawyer stated in court documents, "Many of these concert-goers were looking forward to this event for months, and they deserved a safe environment in which to have fun and enjoy the evening. Instead, their night was one of fear, injury, and death."
In a second lawsuit filed by another concert-goer Manuel Souza — the finger was pointed directly at the "goosebumps" singer for "recklessly encouraged fans to breach the barriers and otherwise actively encouraged a culture of violence."
