In the early hours of this morning, American rapper Travis Scott found himself in hot water once again. Local media reports confirm that Scott was taken into custody in the heart of Paris after an altercation involving his own bodyguard.
According to French news outlet Valeurs Actuelles, the rapper, born Jacques Bermon Webster, was apprehended by gendarmes at the George V Hotel in the 8th arrondissement of Paris.
The scuffle happened around 5 a.m., not far from the bustling Champs-Élysées.
French publication Le Parisien revealed that police were called to the hotel following reports of “acts of violence against a receptionist.” A police source indicated that Scott appeared intoxicated during the confrontation.
Scott is in Paris for the Olympic Games and was spotted just the evening before, attending the men’s basketball semi-final featuring Serbia and the United States.
This incident in Paris follows an earlier run-in with the law back in June, when he was arrested in Miami due to a disturbance on a yacht.
During his Miami arrest, Scott was questioned about his drinking habits, to which he casually responded, “It’s Miami.”
He later attempted to ease his fans’ concerns about his upcoming tour by posting humorous tweets and an edited mugshot on Instagram.
Personal Life and Recent Conflicts
Scott, known for his hit “Sicko Mode,” was previously in a relationship with Kylie Jenner, with whom he shares two young children, Stormi and Aire. Despite their on-and-off relationship since 2017, Scott and Jenner are currently not together.
Just a week before his Miami arrest, Scott was involved in a skirmish with Jenner’s former partner, Tyga, in Cannes.
Past Legal Issues
The rapper has had several legal issues over the years, including the tragic 2021 Astroworld festival incident. At the festival, ten people lost their lives, and many others were injured during a deadly crowd surge. Despite the chaos, Scott continued performing, which drew significant criticism.
The concert, declared a mass casualty event at 9:38 p.m., continued until 10:15 p.m., despite pleas from the crowd to stop the show. Scott, along with festival organizers Live Nation and ScoreMore, faced numerous lawsuits for negligence and wrongful death.
In June of last year, a Houston grand jury decided not to press criminal charges against Scott.
In November of the previous year, Scott addressed the Astroworld tragedy in an interview with GQ. He expressed deep devastation over the event, describing the aftermath as a period of intense reflection and emotional struggle.
Scott shared that he found some solace in returning to music as a way to channel his emotions.
In May of this year, Scott and Live Nation reached a settlement for nine wrongful death lawsuits related to the Astroworld incident.
