Rapper Travis Scott pleaded guilty to reckless conduct Tuesday for inciting a stampede after he encouraged concertgoers to jump over security barriers during his performance at the Lollapalooza music festival earlier this year, according to Billboard.
Scott, whose real name is Jacques Webster, was ordered to stay under court supervision for a year. Even though there were no reported fatalities in the Lollapalooza stampede, a teenage girl was injured in the incident.
Scott was arrested by Chicago police in August after the Houston rapper encouraged fans to climb over security barricades and rush towards the stage. Scott's set lasted no more than five minutes after several members from the crowd jumped on stage.
A video of the incident shows Scott referring to security as "everyone in a green shirt," asking them to move out of the way as concertgoers made their way onto the stage. Shortly after, organizers shut down the music and threatened to end the set if the fans didn't get off the stage area.
"Listen, they're gonna stop the show if y'all don't get down. I wanna finish performing," Scott told the fans, according to Rolling Stone. "We can start over, everybody just get down." However, the concert was stopped and Scott left the scene but was later taken into custody by police
