On Thursday, TMZ posted footage of Travis Scott getting arrested in Miami back in June. Just one day later, the outlet shared more footage of the rapper being put in handcuffs … but this time, in Paris. Per CNN, Scott was arrested early Friday morning after allegedly getting into an altercation with his own bodyguard at the George V luxury hotel. Local authorities said he was taken into custody for “violence against” a security guard that tried to step in, and a police investigation was reportedly opened. An unnamed source told “Page Six” that the altercation began after Scott asked his bodyguard why one of the paparazzi was being allowed to look through his car’s trunk; an unnamed source close to Scott told People that this happened “after multiple days of being chased and harassed by paparazzi upon entering his hotel early this morning and another evening of being swarmed with no help given.”
Local outlet Le Parisien reported that Scott was drunk at the time, and was taken into custody and sobered up until he could be questioned by police. Along with millions of others, Scott was in Paris for the Olympics. Will everything be resolved in time for him to enjoy the closing ceremony this weekend? In a Friday statement to CNN, a representative for Scott said they were in “in direct communication with the local Parisian authorities to swiftly resolve this matter and will provide updates when appropriate.”
