FACTS OR REACHING?: Travis Scott Accused of ‘Transphobia’ After Cutting Amanda Lepore from Album Cover

Travis Scott has come under fire for appearing to remove the revered trans model, actress, and overall LGBT icon Amanda Lepore from the final version of a piece of promotional artwork for his new album.

The Texan rapper will release ‘Astroworld’ tomorrow (August 3), which is his third solo studio album. ‘Astroworld’ currently has two different album artworks, both of which were shot by photographer David LaChapelle. The alternative cover is the artwork which has attracted the negative press.

In LaChapelle’s original piece (which you can see above), Lepore is featured among the other models looking around to the left of the shot. However, she is missing from the final version of the artwork, which Scott posted to Instagram yesterday.

Lepore’s omission from the final artwork has been criticised on social media, with RuPaul’s Drag Race season 10 winner Aquaria highlighting the difference between the two artworks on Twitter – adding “Hi transphobia! I just saw transphobia gurl!”

In a statement, Lepore wrote on Instagram: “A girl can’t help it! I’m too distracting for the eyes. I upstaged everyone in the photograph! Oh well… I love David LaChapelle and Travis Scott. Love and kisses.” Check out some of social media’s reactions below. What do you guys think? Could Travis be transphobic? FANS OR REACHING?

Welp THIS is EXACTLY the TYPE of SHYT I TELL y’all I FACE #BTS in the ENTERTAINMENT industry but NOW it’s BLATANTLY SMACK dead in OUR FACES & NO ONE can DENY OUR PRESENCE however NOW the SOCIETY will MAKE every excuse as to WHY the EXCLUSION of her REPresentation of her TIME, EFFORT & STATUS was LEFT OUT (.) Typically due to SOMEONE HIGHER up with “EXECUTIVE” powers due to THEIR personal “PERCEPTION“ of WHY NOT. But IM HERE to say In my @KASHDOLL voice …. @AmandaLepore said #BitchHEREiGO @TravisScott @David_LaChapelle What’s ☕️ #ImAskingForAFriend 😏 @vh1 @loveandhiphop Care to COMMENT 🧐 FYI Typically … David OWNS & has ALL RIGHTS to his ARTWORK… meaning that YA CAN’T go altering his ART without CONSENT.
