US RAPPER Travis Scott is still "sobering up" in his jail cell following his arrest in Paris for an alleged drunken brawl with his bodyguard, say cops. Scott, 33, is yet to be questioned by French cops over his involvement in the chaotic 5am hotel fight with officials saying the Utopia musician got drunk at the Paris Olympics . The star - full name Jacques Bermon Webster - was seen sitting court side for the Olympic semi-final basketball contest between the US and Serbia on Thursday as he hyped up the crowd.
Footage of Scott at the Bercy Arena showed him alongside pal Quavo as the duo screamed and shouted as they watched the US progress to the final. He can be seen jumping on his seat and even lifting up his top in the viral celebrations. After returning to his five star hotel in Paris , Scott was then reportedly seen getting into an altercation with his own bodyguard.
The rapper was said to have been intoxicated when the brawl erupted inside the George V hotel near the Champs-Élysées. Cops were called shortly after as Scott was hauled into custody, a police source told Valeurs Actuelles. An investigating source later revealed the rapper was still feeling the effects of his drink hours after his arrest.
They said: "He was not in the right condition to be questioned straight away, so was put in a cell where he is still sobering up." Lawyers for Scott are yet to comment on his arrest. The rapper has been in trouble with the law several times over the last few years with wild footage, exclusively obtained by The U.
S. Sun, showing him being hauled away while he shouts in disbelief. It followed his arrest for disorderly intoxication and trespassing in June.
A police report said he was "walking backward and yelling obscenities" while handcuffed and appeared "erratic" and "yelling." After the arrest, Scott mocked his own bleary-eyed mug shot on as he posted it online with the caption "lol". Days later, he released a T-shirt with his mugshot printed on it.
Travis will reportedly be going back to court on September 10. The Astroworld artist has also been arrested twice for provoking his audiences to rush the stage in defiance of security measures. The 30-year-old musician pleaded guilty to public disorder charges at concerts in 2015 and 2018.
