Travis Scott announced a new philanthropic and safety initiative called Project HEAL on Tuesday (March 8), but it faced backlash from the family of Astroworld's youngest victim.

December 9, 2021 Later on Wednesday, Travis Scotts spokesperson, Stephanie Rawlings Blake, called it shameful and beyond cynical that Hilliard would accuse Mr. Scott of violating a court order when he has done nothing of the kind. She added, It is also disappointing that Mr. Hilliard would attack Project HEAL, a series of philanthropic gestures designed to give students and young people a leg up. Project HEAL is a continuation of Travis Scotts longstanding work, including academic scholarships and creative design programs for underprivileged students. Mr. Hilliards outburst holds no merit and is just a publicity stunt when the court expressly prohibited the very same actions that Mr. Hillaird has engaged in. In response to Robert Hilliards motion, Travis Scott s lawyers filed new paperwork on Thursday (March 10) defending their clients right to make public statements about his ongoing philanthropic work, even as it relates to public safety. It also runs afoul of the First Amendment, which guarantees parties like Mr. Scott the right to speak publicly about important philanthropic work that began long before the Astroworld Festival or almost immediately afterward, they wrote in the filing.
