American rapper Travis Scott ‘arrested in Paris after fight with his bodyguard’

Famed American rapper Travis Scott was arrested in the centre of Paris early this morning after an altercation with his own bodyguard.

The famed American rapper , whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster, was detained by gendarmes at the George V Hotel in the French capital’s 8th arrondissement, French outlet Valeurs Actuelles reported. 

The incident occurred around 5am, just steps away from the Champs-Élysées.

According to a police source, the rapper was intoxicated at the time of the confrontation.

Scott is currently in Paris for the Olympic Games. 

He was notably seen on Thursday evening, August 8, attending the men’s basketball semi-final between Serbia and the United States.

This comes after the rapper was arrested in Miami back in June after being involved in a ‘disturbance on a yacht’.

Cops interrogated him about whether he’d been drinking. Scott replied: ‘It’s Miami’.

He also responded to the night’s chaos with a series of light-hearted tweets to calm fan fears about his upcoming tour, and an edited version of his bleary-eyed mugshot snapped shortly after his arrest. 

Scott then wrote ‘lol’ on X and shared his booking photo complete with photoshopped shades and earphones via Instagram stories.

The Sicko Mode singer is the former partner of Kylie Jenner, whom he has two young children with, Stormi and Aire. 

Scott and the Kylie Cosmetics founder, 26, have had an on-off relationship since 2017, but are currently not together.
