Travis Scott, Diddy's "brother," will perform at the Billboard Music Awards in 2022.
Scott will perform on television for the first time since the November Astroworld festival catastrophe, which claimed the lives of ten people and injured hundreds more. Sean "Diddy" Combs stated he was responsible for obtaining him the job in an Instagram video he posted on Monday.Diddy, 52, stated in an Instagram video, "This just in." "I made a demand for the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday. "My brother Travis Scott needs to perform," I said. NBC said 'yes,' since I'm executive producing and he needs to perform. Travis Scott will be playing on Sunday… now that's love."
In a new court filing, victims claim that almost 5,000 people were injured in the Astroworld tragedy.
Combs, who is hosting the award presentation, preached forgiveness for Scott, 31, in an interview with REVOLT Black News earlier this week.
"On my watch, there will be no cancellation," Diddy stated. "Love is about forgiving, which is why I wanted Travis Scott to perform. It'll be an unforgettable evening."
Though his award show performance will be the first to be broadcast on television, the rapper also performed at E11Even Miami over the weekend with Migos' Quavo during the Miami Grand Prix weekend. The ceremony took place just two days after Houston's six-month anniversary.In an Instagram video, Diddy, 52, says, "This just in." "I made a request, no, a demand for the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday. 'Travis Scott, my brother, has to perform,' I said. NBC said 'yes,' since I'm executive producing and he has to act. Travis Scott will perform on Sunday… now that's love."

Combs — who is hosting the award presentation – preached forgiveness for Scott, 31, during an interview with REVOLT Black News earlier this week.
"On my watch, there will be no cancellation," Diddy declared. "It was critical for me to have Travis Scott perform because love is about forgiveness. It'll be a fantastic evening."
Though his award show performance will be the first to be broadcast, the rapper performed with Migos' Quavo at E11Even Miami over the weekend during the Miami Grand Prix weekend. The event took place just two days after the Houston tragedy six months ago.Meanwhile, fresh court documents showed how many concertgoers were hurt during the event.
According to Rolling Stone, the plaintiffs' liaison counsel for the victims' lawsuits, Jason Itkin, Richard Mithoff, and Sean Roberts, filed the claims Monday in Harris County, Texas.
According to the magazine, there were 732 claims for injuries that required extensive medical treatment, 1,649 claims for injuries that required less extensive treatment, and 2,540 claims for injuries whose severity is still being determined, totaling over 4,900 claims for deaths and injuries at the festival.
According to Rolling Stone, it is unclear how the attorneys decided whether their clients' injuries required "intensive" or "less extensive" medical attention.Danish Baig, 27, Rodolfo "Rudy" Pea, 23, Madison Dubiski, 23, Franco Patio, 21, Jacob Jurinek, 20, John Hilgert, 14, Axel Acosta, 21, Brianna Rodriguez, 16, Bharti Shahan, 22, and Ezra Blount, 9, were among those killed in the disaster.
Scott said in his first post-Astroworld interview in December that he couldn't hear any pleas for help when the crowd surge started, and that he had to pause the event many times to make sure his fans were safe.
In December 2021, Scott asked for the dismissal of many lawsuits filed against him. The rapper and his company "usually" refuted the charges in the lawsuits, according to the documents.
