Travis Scott arrested in Paris

He has yet to be questioned by police

Scott, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster, was detained by gendarmes at the George V Hotel in the 8^th arrondissement according to French outlet Valeurs Actuelles.

The rapper had been spotted cheering on the US basketball team in the Olympic semi-final which they came from behind to win against Serbia.

According to Le Parisien, police were called to the hotel, which is just steps away from the Champs-Elysees at around 5am due to ‘acts of violence against a receptionist’.

According to a police source, the 33-year-old was intoxicated at the time.

The source said: “The suspect was drunk and had been fighting with another man – possibly a receptionist in the hotel.

“He was not in the right condition to be questioned straight away, so was put in a cell where he is still sobering up.”

He is being held in a cell, suspected of violence against another person and shall be questioned later today.

It comes just over a month after the rapper was arrested in Miami after being involved in a ‘disturbance on a yacht’. When officers questioned whether he had been drinking he replied: “It’s Miami”.

He has had several run-ins with the law, most notably in 2021 when he was at the centre of the ‘Astroworld’ disaster where 10 people died in a crush at the rapper’s music festival.

Travis Scott was filmed continuing to perform as the crowd chanted for him to stop. A mass casualty event was declared at 9.38pm with the event continuing until 10.15pm.

However, last year, a Houston grand jury decided Scott would not face criminal charges over the deaths.
