Tommy Lee has taken to Instagram to slam Travis Scott for what the Mötley Crüe drummer called “ripping off” his stage production. Highlighting two mechanisms used during Travis’ Astroworld tour—a 360° loop that Travis straps into to rap upside down, and a roller coaster-type rail that is lifted above the stadium crowd—Lee posted his own stage production and wrote, “Just found out this fucking idiot @travisscott or someone on his team ripped off the 360 AND The Crüecifly! WTF!! Get an original idea bro…”
A legal representative for Travis Scott has since given the following statement to Pitchfork:
Tommy didn’t invent the concept of a roller coaster on stage and there’s no legal basis for his accusatory outburst. The actual creator and owner of the system has granted Travis all rights to use that equipment to complement his original stage design.
