Motley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee is telling Travis Scott to “lawyer up” after seeing clips of Travis Scott’s Astroworld Tour stage design.

Lee shared video clips from Travis’ recent Houston show alongside performances where he played on similar equipment. Lee has an issue with the fact that Lee once played drums in a rig that completed a 360-degree loop. When Lee saw Travis rapping from a chair that did something similar, he called it out on Instagram and Twitter.
“Just found out this fucking idiot [Travis Scott] or someone on his team ripped off the 360 AND The Crüecifly! WTF!! Get an original idea bro,” he wrote alongside clips of Scott and himself going for a spin.
A rep for Travis Scott has responded to Tommy Lee’s comments, calling them pointless. “Tommy didn’t invent the concept of a roller coaster on stage and there’s no legal basis for his accusatory outburst,” Scott’s legal rep told Complex Thursday afternoon in an emailed statement. “The actual creator and owner of the system has granted Travis all rights to use that equipment to complement his original stage design.”
According to Rolling Stone, Tommy Lee has issued another statement regarding the entire debacle. “And the plot thickens!” he said. “After I and our production crew created the 360 and Crüecify, We hired a company called SGPS in Las Vegas to create it. WELLLLL GUESS WHO’S DOING TRAVIS’S SET DESIGN???? F**king SGPS! So all u motha****** tellin me I’m not right can f**k off.”
Hey @trvisXX lawyer up!
