Rapper Travis Scott, who hosted the festival, offered to pay for the funeral services of the victims. Several of the victims' families have since rejected his offer.

“Your client’s offer is declined,” Blount family lawyer Bob Hilliard wrote in a letter to Scott’s lawyer, Daniel Petrocelli, perRolling Stone. “I have no doubt Mr. Scott feels remorse. His journey ahead will be painful. He must face and hopefully see that he bears some of the responsibility for this tragedy.”

“We heard from Travis' team. They’re trying to cover the medical and funeral costs. It’s not that we don’t need the money, but we want justice. I want my brother-in-law back. I want my loved one back,” Peña’sbrother-in-law Sergio Gonzalezsaid at the time.

“Someone needs to be found guilty. Who’s guilty? They’re going to pay our funeral fees — a pittance (una miseria in Spanish) — my brother-in-law was worth more than that,” he added.

Scott recently gave aninterview to Charlamagne Tha Godwhere he shared that he didn’t hear the screams for help from the crowd during his performance.

“Anytime you can hear something like that, you want to stop the show, you want to make sure fans get the proper attention they need. And anytime I could see anything like that, I did,” Scott said. “I stopped it like a couple times to just make sure everybody was okay. I really just go off of the fans' energy as a collective and I just didn’t hear that.”

“It’s 50,000 people … you got lights, you got sound, you got [pyrotechnics], you got your in-ears, you got the band, there’s all types of stuff going on,” he continued. “Everything kind of just sounds the same. At the end of the day, you just hear music.”
