Travis Scott Crush Theories Pop Up on TikTok

In the wake of the deadly crush at Travis Scott’s Astroworld music festival, conspiracy theories are popping up on social media. The event left at least eight dead and hundreds injured. Some claim that the crush was a ritualistic sacrifice. TikTok is now removing these videos from its platform.

Some of the theories link the date of the concert to the Church of Satan, and the rapper’s lyrics with Satanism. Satanism is a religion that worships the devil and often involves rejecting Christian symbols and turning crosses upside down. While conspiracy theories are against the TikTok guidelines, users are still spreading them widely. Many people want to find answers after a tragedy.
