Travis Scott announced the launch of Project HEAL earlier this week, a program that will offer various types of aid.

But the grandparents of 9-year-old Ezra Blount, who died at the Astroworld Festival, believes the rapper is only trying to make himself look good for jurors when he faces trial.

“While it’s easy for corporations and institutions to stay in the shadows, I feel as a leader in my community, I need to step up in times of need,” wrote Travis on Instagram about Project HEAL. “My team and I created Project HEAL to take much-needed action towards supporting real solutions that make all events the safest spaces they can possibly be. I will always honor the victims of the Astroworld tragedy who remain in my heart forever.”

“He’s pretty much trying to sway the jurors before they’re even assembled,” said Ezra's grandmother, Tericia Blount while speaking to Rolling Stone. “He’s trying to make himself look good, but it doesn’t look that way to someone with our eyes. What we’re seeing is that he’s done wrong, and now he’s trying to be the good guy and trying to give his own verdict on safety.”

“Every time he does something like this, it’s an ongoing reminder," said Ezra's grandfather, Bernon Blount.

Scott's lawyer, Stephanie Rawlings, spoke about the claim that her client is trying to make himself look good, and she called it “shameful and beyond cynical."

It's been four months since 10 people were killed at Scott's Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas. Afterward, he was heavily criticized for continuing to play while the chaos unfolded and is now facing a bunch of lawsuits.
