Firstly, my thoughts, prayers and deepest condolences goes out to the families of the individuals that lost their lives at the Astro World Festival. I believe that this could have been prevented. I wouldn’t feel right not speaking about this. This is something that’ll stick with me throughout my career as an artist. I always look at the music I make and the impact it can possibly have and it’s always a prayer that it would be for the good of all. This is why on all my artwork for my music I place the words “by God’s grace”. If I’m not doing good or promoting goodness through my actions and interactions I would be living a selfish life. I look at that as my responsibility. My aim is to grow in influence and notoriety not solely so that I can live a comfortable life but to show others that they can too. Specifically the youth of my home islands of Trinidad and Tobago. I feel responsible for creating a way forward for those who have artistic talent but see no way forward. That whole event to me should have been prepared better. I truly do sympathize with everyone involved though. Even Travis Scott but I think if more concern was given to the gravity of the responsibility of an event of this magnitude happening during these times, more would have been done to safeguard everyone. Live not only for yourself. Sigh. All aren’t welcomed in the Valley but those that are, I believe, would embody that statement.
