The family of one of the Astroworld Festival victims has spoken out about West’s demand. In an interview with Rolling Stone, the grandparents of 9-year-old Ezra Blount disagreed with West’s statement. Bernon Blount said:
“To hear Kanye’s words, that’s hurtful to us. What an idiotic thing to say.”
Tericia Blount, Ezra’s grandmother, then said:
“I think it’s just crazy, and I hate to use that word, but I think it’s ridiculous. She’s making sure that she is caring for the patrons at her concert, and I just think that’s crazy of Kanye to even let that demand come out of his mouth.”
