LOOP LIFT
Tommy Lee calls Rapper Travis Scott a ‘f**king idiot’ for stealing his Crucifly idea
— Tommy Lee has unleashed an all-out assault on Travis Scott … accusing the rapper of jacking Tommy’s famous 360-degree loop stage design.
Travis is in the middle of his Astroworld Tour — accompanied by baby mama Kylie Jennerand daughter Stormi — and during the show, there’s a part where he straps into a chair like an amusement park ride and completes a 360-degree loop.
Back in 2011, Tommy also did a 360-degree loop, strapped into his drum set … and clearly saw a video of Travis’ show Wednesday night. In a flurry of posts ripping Travis, Tommy says, “Just found out this f**king idiot @travisscott or someone on his team ripped off the 360 AND The Cruecifly! WTF!! Get an original idea bro …”
The Cruecifly was a floating structure over the crowd Tommy used to go over the audience. Travis also has something similar on Astroworld that was created to look like a roller coaster and takes him from one stage to another.
Tommy continued, “I get copying is a form of flattery, but this is just straight ripping off my sh*t.” He also advised Travis to “lawyer up!”
Interestingly enough, Tommy was taken to court in 2014 over the 360-degree drum set by an engineer who accused him of stealing the idea. Lee won that case, ruling the drums were based on Tommy’s original concept.
