Roddy Ricch is promising to give back to the families who lost loved ones at the Astroworld Festival.
The rap star who was one of the performers at the Houston show on Friday night where at least eight people died, has announced on Instagram he will be donating his earnings to support the victims' families.
"Please have the families of those who we lost yesterday reach out to @shawnholiday. I'll be donating my net compensation to the families of this incident," he posted in his stories.
According to Houston Fire Chief Sam Pena who spoke at a press conference after the event, "the crowd began to compress towards the front of the stage and that caused some panic and it started causing some injuries."
It's been confirmed those who sadly lost their lives were aged between 14 and 27.
