Travis Scott's 'FE!N' Music Video Faces Similarity Claims
The music video for "ROCKSTAR," the solo new song by BLACKPINK member Lisa (LISA), has become embroiled in plagiarism controversy.
According to the music industry on the 15th, British photographer and video director Gabriel Moses recently posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account, pointing out similarities between "FE!N," a track from American hip-hop artist Travis Scott's fourth studio album Utopia (2023), for which he directed the music video, and Lisa's "ROCKSTAR."
He stated, "They (Lisa's side) contacted my editor and said that the 'FE!N' music video was used as a reference," adding, "The editor did not accept this, but the video was produced as is."
Moses pointed out the similarity between the scenes in "FE!N" where the camera quickly pans past children wearing white hooded T-shirts and the scenes in "ROCKSTAR" where the camera quickly pans past people wearing white headscarves.

Moses, who worked on the "FE!N" music video, is a renowned figure who has collaborated with global musicians such as Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, as well as famous fashion brands. He is reportedly demanding that Lisa's side clarify their position on this matter by the end of this month.
Lisa's side has yet to release any official statement.
"ROCKSTAR," released on the 28th of last month, is the first song Lisa has presented since establishing her personal label, Loud Company.
