Travis Scott’s “FE!N” MV Director Makes A Damning Revelation Following Plagiarism Allegations Against BLACKPINK’s Lisa
The plagiarism allegations against BLACKPINK Lisa‘s “Rockstar” have recently intensified.

After the initial allegations, many fans came to Lisa’s defense, stating that the concept he claimed was plagiarized had already been done in other works.
It's funny because this type of editing in music videos is very common, Travis was not the first nor the only one to do it, in fact Kendrick Lamar also has this type of scenes, so your selective interpretation trick is not fooling anyone. pic.twitter.com/6SRdedkcgj https://t.co/vM32IK8uM2

These kinds of sets or scenes are not invented by Travis Scott. Here's a video explaining Lisa's scenes, which means this type of scenes has been here for a long time https://t.co/fTm6gQmvdI pic.twitter.com/QyF11YrmZg

This would be a valid defense, as music videos have often paid homage to other works, meaning this could be a case of that happening. However, Moses dropped another claim that has not added a different layer to the allegations.
In a tweet made on July 5, Moses quoted another X user who talked about the “Travis Scott influence” that Lisa’s MV allegedly show.

In his quote, Moses alleged that Lisa’s team reached out to his video editor to work on “Rockstar” and that “FE!N” was used as a reference. He says that the editor said no, but that Lisa’s team continued anyways.
They reached out to my editor to work on this btw & Fein was the reference. He said nah & they did it anyway. Enjoy the rest of your day https://t.co/MeyjTUxKrG
