A second version of the Astroworld cover design has surfaced in the wake of some internal rumblings between Travis Scott and photographer David LaChappelle. The original mock-up posted by LaChappelle on his Instagram account didn't mirror the final version on Travis' account. Amanda Lepore the missing subject from the original photo, pointed out the discrepancy by posting the version sent to her by LaChappelle.
Tweeters have speculated whether the decision to remove Lepore, a known subversive, was motivated by transphobia, but there's no reason to make that assumption from the jump. That didn't preclude Amanda from taking from posing the question via Instagram: "It was great being part of David LaChappelle’s incredible photograph of Travis Scott’s album cover but I’m curious why I’m not on the picture." Notice how she refrained from making the accusation on the tip of their tongue.
