What is it supposed to be? Is it part of the gig?
Yes. If you watch the full AppleMusic video, the hands looked kind of like hands over a crystal ball. At least that what it looked like to me.
eeeeew! That is so creepy. I wonder if it’s some kind of subliminal satanic thing?
Not sure, but it did make me wonder if that's where all of the satanic comments about the concert came from. When you watch the several minutes the hands appear during the show, it is so disturbing.
@Herat bbm Yes, like my post said:Those pictures don't have real money on the floor. They look like bad fake money.
@Luna20I’m curious now to know what his background is. I barely knew who he was before this other than a musician and Kylies baby daddy.
eeeeew! That is so creepy. I wonder if it’s some kind of subliminal satanic thing?
The whole setup is a throwback to the old traveling carnivals, with fortune tellers, flames (fire eaters back in the day), and so on... Nothing satanic about the actual concept, although I've got zero knowledge about TS and his own views or motivation for using the old theme, since I'd never heard of him before this tragedy.
Publicity Stunt? or CoHinkyDink?
“Instagram star DJ Akademics claiming Drake has blown $1m on exotic performers while there. Video suggested Drake spent $1 million on strippers...The club wrote '2 floors covered with money." Drake went to a STRIP CLUB for a private party a day after his deadly Astroworld concert | Daily Mail Online* bbm sbm
Sooo,
after AstroWorld, TS & Drake decided on the spur of the moment to head to a strip club?
And,
Drake just happened to have handy a million $ in one dollar bills to casually throw around the club floor?
Altho,
One vid shows the club virtually empty.
Some pix of bills on floor seem to be undisturbed. I wonder when those pix were taken.
Or maybe someone, say, PR team for Drake, TS, or club, prearranging event got straps of bills (counterfeit bills? Fuzzy grainy pix, ya know), and called paparazzi beforehand for photo ops of scene.
If there are pix/vid of Drake & TS there, I missed them. Maybe they were at Bible study? A Neil deGrasse Tyson astronomy lecture? Maybe they were at club. IDK.
Call me a cynic, but based on various aspects of the story,* I'm calling it a staged publicity stunt, albeit badly timed. Some might say it backfired.
Not commenting on these two in particular but saying I personally have doubts about the authenticity of celebrity "news."
But I am sure those AstroWorld deaths & injuries were all too real. A massive tragedy. my2ct

If the claimed one million dollars were singles and were spread around the club's two floors, they would make a "money carpet" at least several layers thick/high, maybe even .4 inches thick/high.
Pix & 10 sec. vid (marked Instagram) show one dollar bills, not even covering the floor in a single layer, as there are big bare spots on floors.

Money Carpet
"... 1,000,000 one dollar bills measures 111,287.5 square feet ... cover an area approximately equal to the size of two football fields."
Money Stack
"... a stack of 100 one dollar bills measures .43 inches.
"... 1,000,000 one dollar bills measures 4,300 inches or 358 feet – about the height of a 30 to 35 story building."

I wonder if the photos or videos with the fake money are for a music video for Drake.you can pay for things at a strap club on credit card too.
Guilt by association (his lewd lyrics and desire to create dangerous chaos) makes me think it’s not wholesome.
Totally agree and now he has to deal with people judging him as well.It's sounding like Ezra Blount's injuries are very severe.
Very scary for a child to have that happen to him.
His poor father.
Astroworld victim's dad speaks out post Travis Scott concert
"Blount told ABC13 in Texas that he made sure to keep himself and his son toward the back of the massive crowd because he thought it would be more low-key. However, when Scott got onstage, the crowds of people began to push.
Treston asked followers to "please keep hope alive and never stop praying."
Emphasis mine.
T. Blount took measures to keep himself and his son safe !
It should have been an amazing, fun evening for himself and young Ezra.
MOO
70 minutes at Astroworld: A countdown to catastrophe
''In the thrill of the moment, clamoring for an idol, many pushed forward, thrusting revelers into revelers, closer and closer and closer, until it seemed every inch was swallowed. Then, fighting the compression or seeking escape, people pushed from the front to the back, and new ripples came with it.''
''Some experienced concertgoers in the crowd grabbed whistles around their necks or shouted “Open it up!” to trigger those around them to form mosh pits, circles that were the only voids in the jam-packed horde. Moshers shoved and heaved their bodies against one another in an aggressive ritual toeing the line between dance and violence. Around mosh pits' perimeter, circles of participants rotated and crowdsurfers took flight.
Moshers want their pits to grow as big as possible. Their outward push, combined with the rotations of participants, can create a swirl of motion that moves through the crowd. It was nothing new to many at the show. But, combined with the push toward the stage, others felt the crowd compress in ways they hadn't before.
Billy Nasser, 24, of Indianapolis, noticed it a few songs in. His raised arms no longer had room to come down. People were falling. Some stepped on the lifeless body of a passed-out man with his eyes rolled back in his head.
“I had to let him go .. It was every man for himself,” Nasser said. “And that was when I realized how bad it was because I literally had to drop him and no one else would help me.”
All of the damage control in the world is not going to mend TS' future as a performing musician.That’s very incriminating that those photos have been on his phone all this time and now deleting them. Can’t win one way or the other with that move. Ooops a catch-22!
Reading this link posted by @dotr, I'm incredulous that this could happen. People coming to a concert armed with bolt cutters? Clearly they had planned in advance to evade the metal detectors, ticket gates and Covid vaccine inspections.
Maybe I'm naive now that I'm old, but here in NYC I just can't picture this happening. Maybe illegal entry into some underground club, but I have NEVER seen this happening at any concert venue, sports event or show that I have EVER attended. I just cannot picture the NYPD allowing people with bolt cutters to rip down fences or to overwhelm barricades. Not back in the 70s when NYC was at its nadir, and definitely not since 9/11, when security tightened everywhere here.
It's hit and miss here with vigilance in checking for the Covid vax, as they are supposed to do in restaurants. But there are so, so many restaurants and they don't have police at the front door. Here, though, you cannot get into any ticketed event that I have seen without first having your bags checked, going through a scanner, and I would imagine handcuffs the moment someone took a bolt cutter to a fence, or tried to circumvent going through the entrance gates.
Jmo from lifelong experience.
