Travis Scott, the Grammy-nominated hip hop artist, was apprehended on Friday at the prestigious Georges V hotel in Paris under allegations of inflicting unspecified harm on a hotel security guard, according to the Paris prosecutor's office.
Authorities took Scott, aged 33, into custody following an incident where the security guard intervened to halt a scuffle involving the rapper and his personal bodyguard. The prosecutor's office further stated that a formal criminal investigation has been initiated. Various French media outlets have suggested that Scott was inebriated at the time. Reuters was unable to obtain immediate comment from Scott's representatives. This incident follows another arrest in June, where Scott was charged with disorderly conduct and trespassing after causing a disruption on a yacht in Miami Beach, Florida, as reported by local law enforcement.
