It’s been little over a month since the Astroworld tragedy on November 5, and now the man at the center of it all—rapper Travis Scott—is finally speaking up about that fateful day.

Complex reports that the “Anecdote” artist sat down with Charlamagne tha God where he discussed, among many things, his intent behind the interview, how and when he found out things took a turn for the worst on that day and whether or not he believes undue responsibility has been placed on him.

During the nearly hourlong interview, Scott admitted to being on an “emotional rollercoaster” in the aftermath of the event. Explaining why he wanted to sit down and talk, he told Charlamagne:

“I don’t personally have an intent. I just feel like something happened and I feel like I just needed a way to kind of communicate. When families are grieving, it’s fans that are experiencing something, it’s fans that came to the show—I feel like I just have—I’ve always been that person to always see things through with the people that share experiences with me. And you know, things happen and I just kind of— It’s been such a time and I’ve just been trying to figure things out.”

Charlamagne then asked when the “Goosebumps” rapper found out things were as bad as they were. Scott responded:

“It wasn’t really until, like, minutes until the press conference [that] I figured out exactly what happened. Even after the show [I was] just kind of hearing things but I didn’t know the exact details until minutes before the press conference. And even at that moment, you’re kind of just like ‘wait, what?’ Like, you just went through something and you’re just like ‘what?’”
