American rapper Travis Scott found himself in legal trouble during his stay in Paris . The incident occurred early on Friday morning at the George V luxury hotel, where a fight broke out between Scott and his bodyguard . French authorities were called to intervene, and Scott was subsequently arrested for " violence against another person," as reported by a police spokesman.
The security guard had attempted to separate the rapper from his bodyguard during the altercation, leading to the arrest. The Paris prosecutor's office is now investigating the incident. Scott, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster, had been in Paris for the Olympic Games and had attended the men's basketball semi-final, where the United States triumphed over Serbia.

' Before this incident, he had just concluded the European leg of his Circus Maximus tour in Lisbon, Portugal. The tour had taken him to various arenas across North America and Europe, including a recent performance at Tottenham Hotspur's 62,000-seat soccer stadium in London. Despite his musical success, Scott has faced legal issues before.
In June, he was arrested in Miami on charges of disorderly intoxication and trespassing. His attorney clarified that it was a misunderstanding and that there was no physical altercation involved. In 2023, the Houston-born artist faced accusations of assaulting a sound technician at Nebula, a New York City nightclub.
According to Rolling Stone, the technician named Mark allegedly requested that the rapper lower the volume, prompting Scott to punch him in the head and cause damage to sound equipment worth $12,000. Scott's representative, however, refuted the claim, pointing to a video from the event where Scott was DJ'ing. The representative argued that the video merely showed Scott's performance being disrupted by someone aggressively invading his personal space.
