The Travis Scott lawsuit in the news since July 2026 is a civil suit by three yacht crew members in Miami, who allege he assaulted and threatened them during a charter on June 19, 2024. It is an individual case — not a class action. The copyright case over “Telekinesis” was voluntarily dismissed on June 3, 2026, and the Astroworld wrongful death cases settled in 2024 on confidential terms. As of October 2026 there is no Travis Scott settlement that fans or concertgoers can claim money from.

What the Yacht Lawsuit Alleges
According to the complaint, as reported by Billboard, Scott rented a 105-foot yacht to cruise the Miami coast on June 19, 2024. The captain says Scott became intoxicated and aggressive, so he ended the charter early, and that Scott refused to get off the boat back at the marina. The lawsuit alleges that “Scott pushed [the captain] from behind and then struck him with a closed fist to his neck and upper chest” and threatened to kill him.
Two charter managers who came to help say they were also caught up in a scuffle, that one was knocked to the ground, and that they held a glass door shut while Scott tried to force it open. The plaintiffs claim Scott blocked them from leaving until police removed him. They also say his later merchandise using his mug shot “made light of the incident and the harm caused.” They sue for assault, battery, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress and seek unspecified damages. These are allegations; no court has ruled on them.
Case Details
Yacht-crew suit: filed July 11, 2026 by the yacht's captain and two charter managers against Scott (legal name Jacques Webster). The reports we could verify do not state the court or case number. Scott was arrested in June 2024 for disorderly intoxication and trespassing at Miami Beach Marina, but, per Billboard, no criminal charges were pressed.
“Telekinesis” copyright suit: Boyd v. Webster, No. 1:25-cv-00181, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil. Voluntarily dismissed June 3, 2026.
Astroworld: the death and injury suits from the November 5, 2021 festival were consolidated in Harris County, Texas state court before Judge Kristen Hawkins. Our Astroworld lawsuit page covers those cases in detail.
Status: One Active Individual Suit, Nothing to Claim
Yacht suit (active): filed July 11, 2026. A rep for Scott declined to comment when Billboard asked on July 14, 2026. We found no reported ruling, answer or settlement since. Only the three crew members are parties; nobody else can join it.
“Telekinesis” (dismissed): a gospel singer-songwriter sued Scott, SZA, Future and others in January 2025. She alleged the 2023 song was built from a demo she had recorded and shared with Ye. In March 2026, the judge refused to dismiss the case. On June 3, 2026, both sides told the court they had agreed to a voluntary dismissal. Billboard reported “no suggestion of a settlement in court filings.” Her lawyer said she keeps her co-writer credit and publishing royalties but gives up damages.
Astroworld (wrongful death cases settled): all ten wrongful death suits settled by May 2024, and all terms are confidential. In October 2024, settlements of two test cases resolved at least 300 injury cases before trial. Hundreds of other injury cases were still pending at that point. In 2023, a Harris County grand jury declined to indict Scott.

Are You Part of Any Travis Scott Lawsuit?
Almost certainly not, unless you are already a named plaintiff. None of these cases is a class action. The yacht suit belongs to three crew members, and the copyright suit belonged to one songwriter and her publishing company. Neither one creates a class of fans, ticket buyers or listeners.
Astroworld attendees are the only group with a broad stake. Those were individual lawsuits, consolidated for efficiency, with more than 4,000 plaintiffs by May 2024. You were included only if you or a lawyer filed a claim. Texas generally allows two years to file a personal-injury claim, and the festival was in November 2021. Anyone who was hurt and never filed should ask a Texas lawyer whether any exception, such as one for minors, applies to them.
Is There Any Money?
The yacht plaintiffs seek unspecified damages for themselves. The “Telekinesis” case ended without any reported settlement payment. The Astroworld settlements were real but private: each one was negotiated for a specific plaintiff, and the amounts are confidential. Any website quoting a total Astroworld payout or an average per victim is repeating a figure that no court record or party has made public.

Three Things to Watch For
A famous name, a tragedy and a string of lawsuits make an easy hook. Watch for these:
“Claim your Astroworld settlement” pages
Astroworld never had a public claims fund. Each case was settled privately, plaintiff by plaintiff. A site asking for your ID, ticket or bank details so you can “get your share” is collecting data, not filing a claim.
Exact Astroworld payout totals
Pages ranking for the Travis Scott settlement often give a total in the hundreds of millions or a per-victim range. The terms are confidential, so those figures are guesses. They are often attached to a “free case review” form.
“You may be owed money from the Travis Scott lawsuit”
The yacht case and the Telekinesis case were never class actions, and neither has a fund. A text or email saying fans or streamers qualify for a payout is fake. Do not click the link.
Travis Scott Lawsuit — Questions People Actually Ask
What is the latest Travis Scott lawsuit?
Three crew members of a chartered yacht sued Scott on July 11, 2026. They allege he assaulted and threatened them, and blocked them from leaving, in Miami on June 19, 2024. They seek unspecified damages. As of October 2026, no ruling has been reported.
Is there a Travis Scott settlement I can file a claim for?
No. As of October 5, 2026, no Travis Scott settlement is open to the public, and there is no administrator, claim form or deadline. For settlements that are actually taking claims, see our open class action settlements list.
Was Travis Scott charged over the yacht incident?
He was arrested in June 2024 for disorderly intoxication and trespassing at Miami Beach Marina, but Billboard reports that no criminal charges were pressed. The 2026 lawsuit is a civil case, so the plaintiffs are asking for money, not a conviction.
What happened to the Telekinesis lawsuit?
It is over. Boyd v. Webster accused Scott, SZA and Future of building “Telekinesis” from a songwriter's demo. In March 2026 a federal judge in New York refused to dismiss it. Then on June 3, 2026 both sides agreed to a voluntary dismissal, and no settlement was reported.
Are the Astroworld lawsuits over?
All ten wrongful death suits settled by May 2024. In October 2024, settlements resolved at least 300 injury cases, though hundreds of others were still pending at that point. Our Astroworld page follows the later status.
How much did Travis Scott pay in the Astroworld settlement?
It has not been disclosed. The settlement terms are confidential, and Scott was sued together with other defendants, including promoter Live Nation and Apple, which livestreamed the show. Any specific total you see online is not from a public record.
Was Travis Scott criminally charged over Astroworld?
No. In 2023 a Harris County grand jury declined to indict him.
I was at Astroworld and never sued. Can I still?
Probably too late, but check with a lawyer. Texas generally allows two years for personal-injury claims, and the festival was in November 2021. Exceptions exist, for example for people who were minors at the time, so ask a licensed Texas attorney rather than assuming either way.
Separate from this case: were you injured in the last 2 years?
Class-action payouts are fixed amounts through an administrator. A personal injury claim is a different case — and often worth far more. Free estimate, no obligation.
