Rapper Travis Scott courts controversy after appearing to smoke a joint live on Netflix’s WWE debut
Travis Scott made himself one of the biggest talking points of Netflix’s Monday Night Raw debut when fans quickly spotted that he appeared to be smoking a joint while walking to the ring with Jey ‘Yeet’ Uso.
WWE kicked off its $5billion, 10-year deal with the streaming giants on Monday night, broadcasting a star-studded event from LA’s Intuit Dome, with cameos from The Rock, The Undertaker, Logan Paul and many others.
It wasn’t a wrestler who fans were taking notice of ahead of the night’s final bout, though, with rapper Scott raising eyebrows.
The 33-year-old Houston, Texas native was a surprise guest to join Uso for his walk to the ring ahead of fight against Drew McIntyre.
As the pair prepared to make their way into the arena, the camera caught Scott holding the belt over his arm, and openly smoking a joint.
