Jacques Bermon Webster II, known professionally as Travis Scott, is an American rapper, and singer. While attending the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, Scott, known for chart-topping hits like “Sicko Mode” and “Highest in the Room,” found himself at the center of a serious altercation that led to his arrest. The 33-year-old artist had been spotted just hours earlier at the U.S. men’s basketball semifinal, where Team USA secured a win against Serbia.

Eyewitnesses report that Scott, who appeared to be intoxicated, became involved in a scuffle with his own bodyguard at the George V hotel. The situation quickly escalated when a hotel security guard attempted to intervene, only for the conflict to intensify further. Local law enforcement was called to the scene, resulting in Scott’s arrest on charges of violence against the security guard.

The Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed the arrest, noting that Scott was taken into custody and held for questioning.

This incident is the latest in a series of legal issues for the rapper, who has previously faced significant controversy, particularly following the tragic events at his 2021 Astroworld music festival in Houston, Texas, where ten people lost their lives in a crowd surge during his performance.
