Did BLACKPINK's Lisa copy Travis? 'ROCKSTAR' under fire for plagiarism!
What's the story
BLACKPINK's Lisa, who recently launched her own label, Lloud Company, is under scrutiny for alleged plagiarism in her debut solo music video ROCKSTAR.
The video—filmed in Thailand and released last month—quickly gained global attention.
However, the excitement has been overshadowed by claims of plagiarism from Gabriel Moses, a video director and producer.
Moses has publicly accused Lisa's team of copying a scene from Travis Scott's FE!N music video—which he directed.
Plagiarism claims
'They went ahead, and made it anyway...'
Moses stated on social media, "They (Lisa's team) contacted my editor for this scene. My editor said 'no,' but they went ahead and made it anyway."
Further, the music director pointed out similarities between the two videos, with FE!N having been released in July last year and ROCKSTAR this June.
Moses has demanded an official statement from Lisa's team regarding the plagiarism allegations by the end of this month.
