Lee Feuds With Rapper – Twitter Responds
So in case you missed it, Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee is presently feuding with rapper Travis Scott over accusations that Scott’s stage setup is a direct ripoff of Tommy’s 360 drum rollercoaster and The Cruecifly.
Lee, 56, went after the 26-year-old rapper after footage of one of Scott’s shows surfaced on the internet. Firing off several tweets, it’s clear that Lee is out for blood – or in this case money, as he advised Scott (“This f—— idiot”) to “lawyer up”.
Here’s the video, courtesy of TMZ:

However, folks on Twitter aren’t entirely on board.
Many were quick to remind Tommy that Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker was doing 360 and upside down drumming onstage before Tommy; others mentioned that Travis Scott’s rollercoaster set up is a nod to his album Astroworld as well as to Six Flags AstroWorld, an amusement park in his native Houston.
Here’s a look at 11 of the funniest – and most savage – responses to Tommy’s feud with Travis Scott (who, by the way, has yet to actually respond):

We all take inspiration from somewhere. Were you the first and only to do everything you did? Why even put yourself on these young boys radar as the old angry guy. I wonder if you would feel this way if it was a metal band and not rap. Either way you already opened the can.

Didn’t Travis Barker play the drums on a loop back in 09? Which is 2 years before you even did the loop set but No one came after and sued you for ripping him off, just let it be bro

No word just yet as to how all of this is going to proceed and as of the time of this article, Travis Scott has yet to respond to Tommy’s tweets. Here’s hoping that Tommy and Travis are able to shake hands and end this whole thing on a positive note.
