Travis Scott was arrested in Paris,Following a scuffle with his bodyguard and a hotel security guard, Travis Scott was arrested in Paris.

Rapper Travis Scott was detained early on Friday morning in Paris after allegedly getting into a fight at the Georges V hotel.

The Paris public prosecutor’s office claimed in a statement to The Times that the “Sicko Mode” emcee, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster, was taken into custody after police there were contacted shortly after 5 a.m. to arrest a guy “nicknamed Travis Scott for violence against a security guard.”

According to the statement, a hotel security guard broke up a fight between the 33-year-old musician and his bodyguard.

 

The rap musician, who has been nominated for eleven Grammy awards, is most renowned for his albums “Astroworld” and “Utopia” from last year. He was in Paris for the Olympics, and on Thursday night, he went to watch the U.S. men’s basketball team play Serbia in the semifinals.

According to a person with knowledge of the situation who was not permitted to talk in public,Travis Scott had been in the city for a few days when he was “chased and harassed” by paparazzi. The brawl started because the rapper was surrounded at his hotel on Friday and did not receive assistance.

Following the argument, which resulted in numerous vases breaking,Travis Scott was escorted from the hotel in an ambulance and sent to the hospital to be assessed for injuries. TMZ posted video of the arrest on Friday.

Two years after the tragedy, Travis Scott says, “I always think about” the deaths at Astroworld.

The Times reported that the artist was unharmed in the event, but he is still being held by the police and should be released soon. As of yet, no charges have been made.

Following a “misunderstanding,” Travis Scott was charged with trespassing and disorderly intoxication.

The rapper, who was born in Houston and has two children with reality TV star Kylie Jenner, gained notoriety during the 2021 Astroworld Festival crowd crush that left ten people dead and hundreds of lawsuits pending.

The “Highest in the Room” rapper was arrested in June after an altercation at the Miami Beach Marina on allegations of trespassing and disorderly drunkenness. He spent the night in a Miami jail. Scott is still charged with trespassing even though the state of Florida dropped its disorderly intoxication case against him on Thursday. Trial in the case is set for September 10.

In recently released footage from Paris, Travis Scott is dragged away by police following a fight with his bodyguard.

 

In a new video, Travis Scott seems to be taken away by police after being arrested on August 9 for fighting with his security in Paris.

The rapper, whose actual name is Jacques Bermon Webster II, is shown being restrained by police inside the George V Hotel in video that TMZ was able to obtain. As three police officers wrap Scott’s handcuffs around his upper torso and lead him out of the opulent hotel, he bends his head. As they depart the property, they seem to put pressure on Scott’s shoulders to get him into a police car.

A few hours later, an ambulance outside the jail picked up the “Highest in the Room” hitmaker, according to footage from the outlet.

On August 9, the hip-hop artist’s detention was verified by the Paris prosecutor’s office to PEOPLE.

Scott allegedly punched a security guard at a five-star hotel in the French capital when the guy tried to break up an argument between the musician and his bodyguard, according to French officials.

the Paris prosecutor’s officer stated in a statement obtained by PEOPLE. The rapper and his bodyguard were separated by the latter, who had personally intervened. The Paris prosecutor’s office took control of the inquiry and placed it under the 1st judicial police district.”
