Travis Scott has reportedly been arrested in Paris following a fight with his bodyguard. The 33-year-old US rapper – whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster – has been in the capital city of France for the ongoing Olympic Games , and it’s said he has been taken into custody after an altercation earlier this morning. As reported by Valeurs Actuelles and Le Parisien , a fight broke out between the two men at 5am local time at the George V hotel in Paris’ 8th arrondissement.
Police sources are said to have told the outlets that the hip hop star was ‘drunk’ at the time, and he was arrested for ‘acts of violence’ against the bodyguard. On Thursday evening, he was spotted at the basketball semi final game between the US and Serbia. Earlier this summer, Scott was arrested at a marina in Miami Beach and taken into custody on charges of misdemeanor trespassing and public intoxication on June 20.
In bodycam footage released on Thursday by TMZ of his previous arrest, he can be seen telling police officers that he didn’t have any weapons, and simply wanted to ‘secure’ his property. ‘I’m not gonna do nothing – I got no reason to do nothing,’ he said. ‘This is a waste of y’all’s time right now.
’ He told them he initially left without getting his possessions because he was ‘scared’ by the vast presence of police, while one of the officers reminded the rapper he had told them he hadn’t left anything on the boat. He insisted he misspoke due to the stress of the situation, adding: ‘[There’s] 50 cops around me, bro!’ On Thursday, the Sicko Mode rapper also had a disorderly intoxication charge dropped in relation to the incident following a hearing. However, the state of Florida is still looking to pursue the misdemeanor trespassing charge, with a trial set to start on September 10.
Metro.co.uk understands Scott – who has kids Stormi and Aire with ex Kylie Jenner – attended a ‘rowdy party’, although no one was involved in any physical altercation.
A statement to the PA news agency from the Miami Beach Police Department said: ‘The Miami Beach Police Department confirms the arrest of Mr Jacques Webster, DOB 4/30/1991, on June 20, 2024, at approximately 1.44 a.m.
‘Mr Webster was taken into custody following an incident at the Miami Beach Marina located at 300 Alton Road.’ After his arrest, it is understood he paid a $650 (£512) bond, comprising $500 (£394) for the trespass charge and $150 (£118) for disorderly intoxication. Shortly after Scott’s arrest was reported, he wrote on X: ‘Lol.
