Tommy Lee is “honored” to be the inspiration for Tyla Yaweh and Post Malone's duet entitled “Tommy Lee.” In an interview with Kyle Meridith, the Motley Crue star said, “It's even hard to explain. I'm honored to death that someone would even call a song 'Tommy Lee', and then to have a song be about you… And coming from guys that, like — f*cking Post Malone is probably one of the biggest artists, other than Billie Eilish. These are extremely talented and successful artists, and to get that back, it's hard to even explain. It feels so cool. It's like you're in a club. They've not only accepted you, they're f*cking honoring you.”
He continued, “It's hard to talk about myself like that, so it's difficult; I'm sorry. But it's cool because it just acknowledges that what I'm doing, I'm on the right path. Getting shoutouts from a bunch of other hip-hop artists, and my name pops up in a bunch of songs. I get a kick out of that. I'm, like, 'That's f*cking rad, man.' It's weird even talking about it. I don't know. Laughs”
Lee's latest solo album, Andro, was released on October 16th.
