Play Travis Scott on Amazon Music Unlimited (ad) Travis Scott has filed a $100 million lawsuit against a company he claims failed to deliver a custom stage set for his 2023 UTOPIA tour and later exploited his name and likeness without authorization. The chart-topping rapper slapped Show Motion Engineering with the lawsuit, alleging the Wyoming-based company caused irreparable harm to Scott’s brand and led to substantial financial losses. Ezoic Scott and his company, XX Global, accuse Show Motion of breaching their agreement to build an elaborate stage set for the “Utopia” tour, which Scott had commissioned for over $1.5 million. According to documents obtained by AllHipHop, the company failed to assemble the set for inspection, a contractual obligation required before final payment. Ezoic When Scott’s team withheld further payments, Show Motion reportedly refused to release the set, rendering it unusable for the tour. The suit further alleges that Show Motion failed to deliver and profited from Scott’s brand by showcasing his name, likeness, and prior tour performances on its website. The company reportedly created a page featuring photos and videos of Travis Scott from previous tours, including Rolling Loud and Made in America, alongside references to the UTOPIA project. Show Motion’s website also displayed copyrighted designs from the “Utopia” stage without permission from XX Global. Scott claims those actions were intended to boost the company’s reputation and attract clients under false pretenses. “The aforementioned acts, among others…were done intentionally or with a conscious disregard of [Scott’s] rights, and with the intent to vex, injure or annoy [Scott] such as to constitute oppression, fraud, or malice, thus entitling [Scott] to exemplary and punitive damages in an amount appropriate to punish or set an example of Defendants, and each of them, and to deter such conduct in the future,” Travis Scott’s lawyer Edwin F. McPherson said. The chart-topping rapper wants $5 million in direct losses from the copyright infringement and an estimated $10 million in profits Show Motion allegedly earned from marketing materials featuring the designs. He also wants $100 million for violating his right of publicity and misappropriation of his name and likeness. Share AllHipHop |

Young Money Sued Because Lil Wayne's a Bad Sport!!!

Lil Wayne had a front row seat watching Floyd Mayweather beat Manny Pacquiao. He also watched the Ravens beat the 49ers in the 2013 Super Bowl. He even watched the finals of the NCAA Women's Tourney. And he stiffed the ticket brokers ... allegedly. Tickets of America and White Glove International claim Wayne got $119,400 worth of tickets and never paid a cent. According to the lawsuit, Wayne got tickets for the following events: -- Mayweather vs. Pacquiao $67,500 -- Super Bowl XLVII $14,000 -- MTV Video Music Awards $4,000 -- Heat vs. Hawks $11,000 -- Lakers vs. Rockets $11,100 -- Clippers vs. Rockets $11,300 And this is sad ... NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four -- a measly $500. The suit claims Wayne got the tickets between February 2013 and June 2015. The suit names Young Money and Wayne's manager, Cortez Bryant, but not the rapper himself. We reached out to Wayne. So far no word back.
