American rapper Travis Scott, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster II, was arrested in Paris following an altercation at the George V hotel.
French authorities confirmed that the incident involved a physical confrontation between Scott and his bodyguard, which escalated to the point where a hotel security guard had to intervene.
The security guard's attempt to separate the two led to further complications, resulting in Scott allegedly assaulting the guard.
The arrest took place early Friday morning, with the Paris prosecutor's office stating, "I can confirm that on August 9, 2024, police officers were called to the George V hotel and arrested the rapper nicknamed Travis Scott for assaulting a security guard."
The rapper was in Paris to attend the Olympics and had watched the U.S. men's basketball team secure a victory over Serbia the previous night.
