PEOPLE – Rapper Travis Scott placed in police custody after violence in Paris

American rapper Travis Scott was arrested this morning at the George V hotel in Paris, according to information reported by several media. Drunk, the rapper allegedly hit his bodyguard. Earlier in the day, he had attended the Olympic basketball semi-final between the Americans and the Serbians.

This arrest is not a first. We remember an altercation on a yacht in Miami Beach, where he was taken into custody for public order disturbances and drunkenness. Law enforcement was called after Travis Scott was seen yelling at people on a boat.

This situation is also reminiscent of previous incidents, in particular its responsibility in the tragedy of the Astroworld festival in 2021, where a stampede caused the death of ten people. Travis Scott reacted to this new arrest with an enigmatic comment on social networks, indicating that he takes this matter lightly.
