Rapper Travis Scott was arrested in Paris following an alleged fight involving a security guard and his own bodyguard at a luxury hotel. The Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed the incident on August 9, 2024, stating that Scott was arrested for assaulting a security guard who intervened to separate him from his bodyguard. The case has been referred to the 1st district of the judicial police for further investigation.
Scott, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster II, is a well-known rapper and was recently seen at the men’s Olympic basketball semifinal, where the U.S. team secured a narrow 4-point victory. The incident took place at the George V hotel, located near Paris’s Champs-Élysées and with views of the Eiffel Tower.
This is not the first time Scott has faced legal issues, as he was previously arrested in June on a disorderly intoxication charge in Miami Beach. However, his attorney claimed that it was a misunderstanding. Scott has not publicly commented on the recent arrest in Paris, and no response has been received from his representative. The situation is still developing, and updates are expected to follow.
