Travis Scott Arrested In Paris After Hotel Altercation
Popular American rapper, Travis Scott, was arrested in Paris on Friday, August 9th, following an altercation at the prestigious George V hotel in the city.
What went down
According to reports, the 33-year-old musician was taken into custody in the early hours of the morning. This was after a fight broke out between Scott and another individual, suspected to have been a hotel staff member. French authorities stated that Scott appeared to be intoxicated at the time of the incident.
“The suspect was drunk and had been fighting with another man – possibly a receptionist in the hotel,” a Paris police source told local reporter Peter Allen. “He was not in the right condition to be questioned straight away, so was put in a cell where he is still sobering up.”
The arrest comes just a day after Scott was spotted cheering on the United States of America team during their men’s basketball semifinal matchup against Serbia at the 2024 Summer Olympics in the French capital.
