Kylie Jenner has come under fire from fans for throwing an Astroworld party for her children’s birthdays, just over a year since the deadly festival tragedy.
In November 2021, ten people died in a stampede at the Astroworld festival, founded by artist Travis Scott, in his hometown of Houston, Texas.
Jenner, 25, shares daughter Stormi, five, and son Aire, one, with ex Scott, 31, and threw their children a joint birthday bash this week with decorations inspired by the music event, which which fans considered a “tasteless” move.
In photos shared on social media, giant inflatable heads with open mouths were seen erected at the party, similar to the image seen on Scott’s album cover for Astroworld, released in 2018.
These huge ones were also seen erected at the Astroworld festival.
Jenner previously used the inflatable props for her daughter’s first birthday party, and she used them again for the event, which saw inflatable slides and a walkway with surrounding balloons set up for the occasion.
Fans were offended to see the “demon” decorations, as some said that Jenner was not sensitive to the theme of the party.
“Kylie Jenner makes fun of Astroworld victims (including a 10-year-old who got trampled) with her former Travis-Scott-themed birthday party for her daughter, Stormi,” wrote one person, posting 10 -a victim of the Astroworld tragedy.
A second said: “Isn’t this tasteless after the Astroworld tragedy … where children died”.
“Kylie using Astroworld branding for her kids birthday party is a bit scary to me,” said a third.
A fourth said: “Does the f*** match this crowded theme? Very diabolical … I hate what happened in #AstroWorld”.
Jenner and Scott reportedly split for the second time in January, after reuniting in 2020.
Despite the split, it seems the reality star doesn’t mind getting involved with her ex – even if it’s on bad terms.
Jenner paid tribute to her son on his first birthday this week by sharing a montage clip of the two together on Instagram.
The mother of two wrote: “CAUTION. my son, my moon, my stars. the best year of my life with you. you complete us my angel. Mom loves you. Happy birthday 1st grade. God bless you always.”
