Travis Scott arrested at Paris hotel after altercation with security guard, prosecutors say

PARIS– Rapper Travis Scott was arrested at a Paris hotel after a fight with a security guard, French prosecutors said Friday.

The arrest came after police were called to the Georges V hotel on Friday to arrest a man “nicknamed Travis Scott for violence against a security guard,” according to a statement from the Paris Public Prosecutor’s Office.

Hotel security intervened in a fight between the rapper and his own bodyguard, the statement said. Police are still investigating.

The rapper was in Paris for the Olympics. He watched the US meeting on Serbia in the men’s basketball semifinals on Thursday night.

Scott, one of the biggest names in hip hop whose birth name is Jacques Webster, has more than 100 songs that have reached the Billboard Hot 100 and has released four chart-topping singles: “Sicko Mode,” “Highest in the Room,” “ The Scotts” and “Franchise”.

He has two children with his ex-girlfriend, media personality and businesswoman Kylie Jenner.

The Associated Press sent a message to Scott’s representative seeking comment.
