Sound Engineer At Travis Scott’s Club Gig Speaks From Hospital & Claims Rapper Messed Up His Neck
The victim of an alleged attack from the rapper spoke out following an incident at the Nebula nightclub in New York City.
The sound engineer that Travis Scott allegedly punched gave his first interview after an incident at a New York City club, where the engineer, identified only as Mark, claimed that the Astroworld rapper “attacked” him. The rapper’s representatives have denied wrongdoing, calling the incident a “misunderstanding.” Mark detailed what had happened at the Nebula nightclub in an interview from his hospital bed with Fox 5 on Wednesday, March 1.
As he sat in his hospital bed, Mark explained the extent of his injuries. He said that he was having some trouble turning his head and was feeling some pain. “Obviously, my neck is f***** up. My arm is tingly. I have pins and needles going down it,” he said.
Besides explaining his issues with his neck, Mark detailed what had allegedly happened between him and Travis at the club. He said that the volume during the rapper’s set, during an appearance with Don Toliver, was too high, causing it to distort. “I was trying to tell him to lower [the volume] so it sounded good for the performance, but he just stuck his middle finger in my face. So I lowered the monitor a little bit so I could talk to him, and that’s when he ran around the speaker and attacked me,” he said.

This has the earmarks of a cash grab but will be resolved and all those with an agenda will be held accountable.” A source close to the rapper told the outlet that he and his team were “working with law enforcement to resolve and get to the truth.”
