Travis Scott Arrested in Paris Hotel Incident

PARIS (AP) — Rapper Travis Scott remains in police custody after being arrested at a Paris hotel due to an altercation involving a security guard, according to French prosecutors. The Paris prosecutor's office confirmed that Scott's custody was extended on Friday night, although further details about the incident have not been disclosed as the investigation continues. Scott was taken into custody early Friday at the Georges V hotel after police responded to reports of violence against a security guard. The altercation reportedly occurred between the rapper and his bodyguard, prompting hotel security to intervene. As of now, Scott's representatives and legal counsel have not provided comments regarding the situation. In a statement, a representative for Scott indicated that they are in direct communication with local authorities to resolve the matter promptly and will issue updates as the investigation unfolds. The representative requested anonymity due to the ongoing nature of the inquiry. The rapper, whose real name is Jacques Webster, was in Paris to attend the Olympics and had watched the U.S. men's basketball team compete against Serbia the night before his arrest. Known for his significant impact on the hip-hop scene, Scott has achieved multiple Billboard Hot 100 hits and has two children with former partner Kylie Jenner. The situation continues to develop as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
