Travis Scott denies allegations, including negligence, in lawsuits filed against him for the Astroworld Festival tragedy, according to court documents filed by Scott's attorneys and obtained by CNN.

More than 140 lawsuits have been filed in the tragedy that left 10 people dead, CNN previously reported. Most allege the defendants were negligent and stood to make huge sums of money from the concert.

"Defendants generally deny the allegations set forth," stated the court documents, which requested the claims be dismissed with prejudice, meaning they cannot be brought to court again. "Travis Scott's attempt to escape responsibility for creating a deadly situation from which his fans could not escape is shameful and, sadly, true to form," said Houston attorney James Lassiter, who represents Shahani and several more festival attendees who suffered significant injuries.

Scott has said he would pay the funeral costs for those who died in a crowd crush during the concert.
