Travis Scott was arrested early Friday morning in Paris following a heated altercation with his bodyguard at the Georges V hotel. The incident, which took place in the upscale 8th arrondissement, prompted a significant police response. Scott, who is in Paris for the 2024 Olympic Games, was reportedly intoxicated during the scuffle. A hotel security guard attempted to intervene, but the situation escalated, leading to Scott’s arrest on charges of violence against the security guard.
This incident is the latest in a series of legal troubles for Scott, who previously faced intense scrutiny after the 2021 Astroworld tragedy in Houston, Texas, where ten people lost their lives during a crowd surge at his concert. As the investigation unfolds, it remains uncertain how this arrest will affect Scott’s participation in the remaining Olympic events or his career. No official statement has been made by Scott’s representatives.
