Despite the controversy, Scott’s tour has drawn record-breaking crowds. The US rapper, 33, recently made headlines for setting an attendance record at Sydney’s Allianz Stadium, where over 55,000 fans gathered for his show.
However, with increasing reports of violent outbursts and medical emergencies, concerns about crowd safety at his concerts continue to mount.
