«Breaking News» Travis Scott sued for fraud and allegedly pocketing $200K after canceling performance at festival

Travis Scott is being sued over the cancellation of a music festival.

The Astroworld rapper has been accused of fraud and breach of contract by Empire Music Ventures, who allege he had agreed to perform at the 2019 Rhythm, Wine & Brews Experience.

In court documents obtained by The Blast, Empire Music Ventures accused the 26-year-old star and his team of stealing from them. 

Accusations: Travis Scott is being sued for fraud and allegedly stealing a $200K advance before abruptly canceling his performance at a festival, according to The Blast

The show was slated to be at the Empire Polo Grounds - the same site as Coachella.

After he signed a deal on November 7 and allegedly received an upfront part-payment of $217,500 on December 3, his representatives called and cancelled his 75-minute set with no explanation, according to the documents.

On the day the organizers claim to have paid Travis the first installment of his $400,000 fee, they released a message cancelling the event. 

'Due to a last minute cancellation by our festival headliner, we have no other choice than to cancel the 2019 Rhythm, Wine & Brews Experience,' the message read.

Legal woes: Empire Music Ventures allege the Astroworld rapper had agreed to perform at the 2019 Rhythm, Wine & Brews Experience but pulled the plug after receiving half his payment

They wrote in bold and underlined text: 'Defendants have stolen Plaintiff's money. [They] refuse to return the money ... each of them have kept it, and wrongfully converted it to their own use. They have stolen 217,500.00.'

While no explanation has been given for Travis dropping out of the festival, the contract states that he could not 'contract or advertise any other performance within a 120-mile radius for 90 days before or 30 days after March 2.'

This meant any possible surprise performance at Coachella could be severely limited.

'Defendants have stolen Plaintiff's money. [They] refuse to return the money ... each of them have kept it, and wrongfully converted it to their own use. They have stolen 217,500.00.'

Travis famously met Kylie Jenner - the mother of his daughter Stormi, 10 months, at Coachella, and after sparking an instant connection, the lip kit guru decided to head off on tour with the rapper to really get to know him.

She previously said: 'We had a lot of downtime. It was organic. And we would just go to these random cities. We got to not be who we really were.'

Adding: 'Like, if we were in LA, I feel like it would've been way different. Everything happened for a reason. We weren't going out as Kylie and Trav.' 

'We would just be in Cleveland, walking the street for hours. We would go on walks, and no one would bother us.' 

Problems: The rapper's original contract would have prevented him from also performing at Coachella, where he met Kylie Jenner last year

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
