The rapper took to Instagram on Saturday morning to address the violence at his concert. His heart goes out to all those affected and he is “absolutely devastated” by what took place.

I’m absolutely devastated by what took place last night. My prayers go out to the families all those impacted by what happened at Astroworld Festival

This is a terrible situation and more information could uncover the root of this issue. It is alleged that concertgoers were injected with a drug that caused the mayhem to ensue. We’re not sure about all the logistics, but now is a time for healing as so many questions remain unanswered.

Let’s get to know each other. Me? Well, I have a master’s degree in Journalism from Marshall University, but I don’t really like to talk about that. I was a stand-up comedian for eight years, but I don’t really like to talk about that either. I write a lot. I once worked for a company that writes blurbs for online gambling games. Those paid $.75 each. So, if you frequent that kind of thing, then you’re welcome for the description for Biker Chicken Slots or Crazy Granny’s Scratchers. I wish I had more to tell, but due to my crippling anxiety and Tourette’s Syndrome, that has become increasingly worse over the years, I tend to keep to myself.
