Rapper Travis Scott Arrested in Paris After Alleged Fight with Bodyguard at Luxury Hotel

Rapper Travis Scott was arrested in Paris on Friday morning after an alleged altercation with a security guard at the five-star George V hotel, located next to the Champs Elysees avenue. According to local media, Scott and one of his bodyguards were fighting near the hotel when the security guard intervened, which was met with violence from Scott. Police were then called to the hotel at 5 a.m. local time to break up the fight.

In a statement, the Paris prosecutor’s office explained: “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 nicknamed Travis Scott for violence against a security guard. The latter intervened to separate the rapper from his bodyguard. ”

Scott was in Paris to attend this year’s Olympics and was seen at the United States Men’s basketball semi-final match against Serbia on Thursday evening.

Local media sources are reporting that several people present during the altercation have reported that Scott was heavily intoxicated at the time of the quarrel and refused to take a breathalyzer test. A staffer at the George V told Variety that Travis was in a “state of inebriation” when he showed up at the hotel.
