One of the Monaco Grand Prix weekend’s most talked-about off-track moments unfolded not on the circuit, but inside one of Monte-Carlo’s exclusive nightlife venues…
As reported by The Independent, American rapper Travis Scott has come under fire following an incident at a Formula 1 after-party at Lilly’s Club on Sunday night, where DJ and producer John Summit claimed his set was cut short after another artist arrived late and forced their way onto the stage.
Summit did not name Scott directly, but strongly hinted at the rapper’s involvement in a series of social media posts following the event. Describing the evening as “out of control,” he told followers that his performance had been shut down after another artist arrived late and interrupted the show.
Videos shared online appear to show confusion around the DJ booth as security personnel and members of Scott’s entourage moved through the crowd. Summit’s production director, Erik Fink, also criticised the incident on social media, posting comments that were widely interpreted as directed at the Houston-born rapper.
The episode quickly sparked debate among Formula 1 fans and clubgoers online, with many questioning why the interruption was allowed to happen. Social media users described the situation as “disrespectful” and criticised what they saw as poor behaviour towards the scheduled performer.
The controversy comes just days after Scott faced criticism in Turkey, where concertgoers reportedly complained that he arrived significantly later than expected for a headline appearance.
While neither Scott nor his representatives had publicly commented on the Monaco incident at the time of publication, the story rapidly became one of the most discussed celebrity moments of the Grand Prix weekend.
For a weekend that attracted global stars, superyachts and packed hospitality venues, the unexpected drama inside one of Monaco’s hottest parties proved that not all the headlines were generated on the track.
