Travis Scott Arrested in Paris After Alleged Altercation with Hotel Security Guard
Share
Travis Scott was arrested in Paris on Friday, August 9, after allegedly assaulting a hotel security guard at the Four Seasons Hotel George V, located in the city’s 8th arrondissement.
According to reports from Le Parisien, the incident occurred when the security guard attempted to break up a drunken altercation between Scott and one of his own bodyguards.
TMZ followed up with video footage showing Parisian law enforcement arresting the artist and removing him from the hotel. In the footage, police can be seen trying to handcuff Scott, who appears to make a slight attempt to resist.
Paparazzi swarmed the scene as Scott was escorted to a police vehicle by three officers before being placed inside. The video shows the “Utopia” artist trying to obscure his identity from the cameras, keeping his head down in the back of the police car. TMZ also reports that the rapper, born Jacques Bermon Webster II, was later taken to a nearby hospital by ambulance.
Reuters reported that Parisian police and prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation into the Houston rapper. The Agence France-Presse (AFP) shared a statement from the prosecutors, confirming Scott’s arrest:
“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 person known as Travis Scott for violence against a security guard. The latter intervened to separate the rapper from his bodyguard.”
Additional information from Paris radio network FranceInfo suggested that Webster appeared “heavily drunk and agitated” during the incident and refused to comply with law enforcement’s request to take a breathalyzer test.
Scott was in Paris recording music and attending various Olympic events, including the Team USA vs. Serbia semifinal on Thursday, August 8, where he was seen courtside with Quavo and Michael Rubin.
