However, her solo journey faced challenges with allegations of plagiarism from Gabriel Moses, who claimed similarities between scenes in Lisa’s video and Travis Scott’s “FE!N” video, which he directed.
He claimed,
“They (Lisa’s team) contacted my editor for this scene. My editor said ‘no,’ but they went ahead and made it anyway.”
The similarities between “FE!N,” released in July last year, and “ROCKSTAR,” released this June, have led Gabriel Moses to request an official statement from Lisa’s team by the end of this month.
Thai media outlets, which had warmly received Lisa’s new single, also addressed these plagiarism allegations. Well, Thai publication Khaosod reported,
“Lisa’s ‘ROCKSTAR’ is accused of plagiarizing the music video for Travis Scott’s ‘FE!N,’ directed by Gabriel Moses. Comparing Moses’ video with ‘ROCKSTAR,’ it looks like a replica.”
