Travis Scott Sued For Stealing $200K?!

Travis Scott was reportedly due to perform at the 2019 Rhythm, Wine & Brews Experience, but reports have come in that the festival is suing Scott for allegedly stealing over $200,000. Empire Music Ventures filed suit against Scott on Friday, Jan. 4 for fraud and breach of contract.

The documents say Scott signed a contract to perform at the fest, and was paid $400,000 to perform on March 2 (with a deposit of $217,500). Empire Music Ventures say after the deposit was paid to him on Dec. 3, Scott's team called to cancel the performance without explaining why.

March 2nd is actually when Scott is set to perform at Madison Square Garden in New York City, with a show at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn the next day.

Empire was forced to cancel the event after Scott's dropout: "Due to a last minute cancellation by our festival headliner, we have no other choice than to cancel the 2019 Rhythm, Wine & Brews Experience."

In their lawsuit, Empire claim, "defendants have stolen [the] Plaintiff’s money" and that Scott's team have "wrongfully converted [the money] it to their own use." The contract states that Travis Scott could not "contract or advertise any other performance within a 120-mile radius for 90 days before or 30 days after March 2."

Yikes. Keep it on lock for more news as we get it.
