PARIS (AP) — Renowned rapper Travis Scott was arrested early Friday at the Georges V hotel in Paris following an altercation involving a security guard. According to the Paris public prosecutor’s office, police responded to a call regarding a man known as Travis Scott, who was accused of violence against a security personnel. The incident reportedly escalated when the hotel security intervened in a dispute between Scott and his bodyguard. The rapper, whose real name is Jacques Webster, was in the French capital to attend the Olympics and had been seen at the men’s basketball semifinal where the U.S. team faced Serbia the previous night. Scott's presence at such a high-profile event underscores his status as a major figure in the entertainment industry. Travis Scott is celebrated for his significant contributions to hip hop, with over 100 songs featured on the Billboard Hot 100 and four chart-topping singles, including hits like “Sicko Mode” and “Franchise.” His influence extends beyond music, as he shares two children with former partner Kylie Jenner, a well-known media personality and businesswoman. As the investigation continues, the Associated Press has reached out to Scott’s representative for further comments regarding the incident. The outcome of the investigation remains to be seen, as fans and the public await more details about the circumstances surrounding the arrest.
