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