Travis Scott In Trouble Again With Law After Paris Arrest

Rapper Travis Scott is in trouble again after being arrested in Paris where authorities said he got in a fight with his bodyguard at a luxury hotel.

Prosecutors in France confirmed to People magazine that in the early morning hours of Friday, French police took the 33-year-old rapper — born Jacques Bermon Webster — into custody at the five-star George V hotel in the French capital after a security guard attempted to break up the fight.

“I can confirm that on August 9, 2024, shortly after 5 a.m., the police were called to the Georges V Hotel and arrested the man nicknamed Travis Scott for assaulting a security guard,” the prosecutor’s officer said.

“The latter had himself intervened to separate the rapper from his bodyguard,” the statement added. “The 1st judicial police district was seized of the investigation by the Paris prosecutor’s office.”

A representative for the rapper said, “We are in direct communication with the local Parisian authorities to swiftly resolve this matter and will provide updates when appropriate.”

“After multiple days of being chased and harassed by paparazzi upon entering his hotel early this morning and another evening of being swarmed with no help given Travis was arrested at his hotel after unfortunately getting into a fight with his own security detail, his bodyguard,” a source close to Scott said.

Scott remains in custody and has yet to be charged in the Paris arrest at the time of this publication, TMZ noted.

The arrest came 24 hours after Scott dodged one of two charges after being arrested in June in Miami Beach, Florida, for disorderly intoxication and trespassing property after yelling at people on a yacht, as previously reported.

Scott didn’t appear in court on Thursday, but his attorney was on hand when prosecutors officially dropped the disorderly intoxication charge against his client, TMZ reported. However, the prosecution is still looking to charge the rapper with a misdemeanor trespassing charge, the outlet noted.

Police said when they arrived at Miami Beach marina, officers saw Scott yelling at occupants of a vessel and that they smelled a strong scent of “alcohol coming from the defendant’s breath,”  NBC News noted.

At first, Scott complied with officers when they instructed him to sit down, but then he got up and continued. Police then instructed him to leave the area or risk being arrested. He left, but while walking away, he yelled “obscenities to the occupants of the vessel,” a Miami Beach Police arrest affidavit read.

However, a short time later, he returned to the marina and headed back to the yacht, before officers caught up with him.

Scott is reported as speaking to one sergeant and “becoming erratic” and “disturbing the peace of the occupants of the marina and nearby residential buildings causing public disturbance,” the arrest affidavit added, before he was taken into custody.

The rapper’s trial for the misdemeanor trespassing charge is set for September.
