Altercation at Georges V Hotel

American hip hop artist Travis Scott found himself in hot water early Friday morning. The 31-year-old rapper was arrested at the luxurious Georges V hotel in Paris after an alleged physical altercation with a security guard.

Details of the Incident

Reports indicate that the altercation involved Scott, his bodyguard, and a hotel security guard trying to intervene. Scott, well-known for his Billboard Hot 100 hits and high-octane performances, was reportedly in town to attend the Olympics and watch the men’s basketball semifinal between the United States and Serbia.

Ongoing Investigations

The Parisian police are still investigating the incident, with Scott’s legal representatives in communication with local authorities to resolve the matter.

Legal History and Past Incidents

Let’s just say this isn’t Scott’s first rodeo with the law. In June, he faced arrests in Miami Beach for misdemeanors involving trespassing and public intoxication. Plus, Scott had his share of headlines after a 2021 Houston concert led to a tragic crowd surge, resulting in 10 deaths. To complicate matters, the last wrongful death lawsuit from the 2021 incident was settled only this past May.
