Tommy Lee tells Travis Scott to “lawyer up” for allegedly stealing stage design—UPDATED
UPDATE: NOV. 29, 4:59 P.M. EST
Earlier today, Motley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee caught wind of rapper Travis Scott’s ASTROWORLD Tour setup. Lee in turn accused him of ripping off old sets by posting side-by-side videos of both stage designs.
Lee told Scott to “lawyer up” soon after, and now he’s returning to social media with a new development, alleging they both used the same production company.
“And the plot thickens! After I and our production crew created the 360 and Crüecifly, we hired a company called SGPS in Las Vegas to create it. WELLLLL GUESS WHO’S DOING TRAVIS’S SET DESIGN???? Fucking SGPS! So all u mothafuckas tellin’ me I’m not right can fuck off.”

SGPS lists several of Motley Crüe’s tour on their website, including 2005’s Carnival Of Sins, 2008’s Crüe Fest and 2009’s Crüe Fest 2.
The production company has also worked with blink-182 where they constructed Travis Barker’s flying drum riser for their return in 2009, which marked their first post-hiatus tour.
The company has also worked with acts such as KISS, Green Day, Disturbed, Gwen Stefani, Miley Cyrus and more.
Scott has still not publicly commented.

Motley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee caught wind of rapper Travis Scott’s ASTROWORLD Tour setup, and the drummer is not pleased.
Scott is currently on the road in support of his latest album of the same name. He’s been turning the stage into his own personal amusement park complete with a roller coaster and a ferris wheel-like contraption.

Earlier this month, in the midst of his tour, Scott hosted a one-day ASTROWORLD Festival featuring Post Malone, Lil Wayne and more. The rapper reminisced over the hometown gig by posting a clip in the aforementioned ferris wheel.
Earlier today, Lee posted a clip of Scott’s festival performance, claiming either he or his team stole the idea. He also included the Motley Crüe setup he allegedly copied.
“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…(swipe to see who did this shit first) BRB there’s more …”
Lee followed it up with a second post alleging Scott also copied the Crüecifly with his roller coaster-like design.
“ANNNNND not one rip off but TWO. DOPE. I get copying is a form of flattery, but this is just straight ripping off my shit. What do you guys think??? #crüecifly”
Following the alleged proof of the idea theft, Lee took to twitter to tell Scott to “lawyer up.”
Hey @trvisXX lawyer up!
