Even with Lee’s appearance in the video, and the name of the song being called “Motley Crew,” the song isn’t necessarily paying homage to the celebrity of the rock band. Essentially, it just makes light of the homophonic term, because after all, they are pronounced the same. For Post Malone, he actually goes to the true meaning of the term itself (which is an unusually mixed group of characters or people). 

There are other famous appearances in the video from rappers Big Sean, French Montana, Tyga, and Ty Dolla Sign. These men are in the video along with professional race car drivers, Bubba Wallace and Denny Hamlin (Yahoo! News). Post Malone repeatedly raps and sings in the song that he has a solid and an assorted group of friends: “Came with the gang, a myriad, came with the motley crew.”

So with rappers, professional racers, and a famed rocker, maybe it’s not so much an unusual group as they’re all famous anyway, but it’s probably not the gang most would expect to see together on any given day. Indeed, a motley crew.
