Travis Scott To Pay Almost $400K Over Cancelled Gig

No matter how much money you have, having to pay $400K is never a good time–and Travis Scott is about to learn that first hand.

A jury recently ordered that the ASTROWORLD rapper to pay nearly $400,000 to PJAM, the Minneapolis promotion company that sued Scott over a missed Super Bowl gig last year. The plaintiffs claimed they had paid the Houston artist $150,000 upfront as well as $10,000 to his booking agent. They also provided him with a private jet and covered the show’s promotional costs–but hours before the show, his team informed PJAM that he had to cancel. The rapper’s team was citing weather conditions and logistics for his absence, while the company claims Scott simply “refused to show up to the event.”

For the record, Travis Scott had actually booked two different shows on the night of Feb. 3: There was the canceled gig in Minneapolis, and another one in  Las Vegas, which he did end up performing at.

According to the lawsuit, PJAM demanded that Travis return the $150,000 plus damages. The rapper counter-sued the company in April 2018, claiming they never confirmed his travel plans and owed him $50,000 for the deal. He also accused the company of violating a confidentiality agreement by speaking to the press.

In the end, the jury rewarded PJAM with $382,932.79 in the case.

“The jury verdict of $383k is disappointing, but far less than the seven figure demands made by the promoters,” King told TMZ. “We believe the verdict will be substantially reduced or overturned in subsequent proceedings.”

Luckily for Travis,he made some serious cash on tour this last year, so this money shouldn’t put too much of a dent in his pocket.
