Following the tragedy at Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival, the rapper offered to cover the funeral expenses of the attendees who lost their lives during the crowd surge at the annually held concert.

But the family of the youngest Astroworld victim, nine-year-old Ezra Blount, declined Scott’s offer.

To date, the Astroworld death toll stands at 10 and hundreds of others were injured.

Scott and organisers of the event were slapped with hundreds of lawsuits, including one from Blunt’s family.

Attorneys Ben Crump, Alex Hilliard and Bob Hilliard, who are representing the family, received a letter from Scott’s lawyer, dated November 24, to extend the rapper’s “deepest sympathies and condolences to Mr Blount for the loss of his beloved son Ezra” and offer financial support.

Hilliard, giving the family’s response, said: “The loss of a child is like a faucet of unimaginable pain that has no off handle. Your client’s offer is declined.”

Blount and his father, Treston Blount, drove from Dallas to Houston to attend the Astroworld concert. During the concert, Ezra was mounted atop his father’s shoulders. Following a crowd surge toward the stage, the elder Blount was smothered by the crowd, experienced challenges breathing and passed out as a result. Ezra, during the chaos, fell off his dad’s shoulders and into the crowd, suffering a cardiac arrest from the commotion.

Following injuries sustained from being trampled, the nine-year-old was admitted to the Texas Children’s Hospital. Ezra was placed in a medically induced coma and then on life support in an attempt to combat his brain, liver and kidney trauma. Just nine days later, Blount lost his battle for life.
