Story

Rapper Travis Scott was released from police custody in Paris without charges following an altercation at the George V Hotel on Friday. French prosecutors announced on Saturday that the decision to terminate proceedings was due to the minor nature of the incident. Scott, whose real name is Jacques Webster, was arrested after a security guard intervened in a dispute between the rapper and his bodyguard. The altercation prompted hotel staff to call the police, leading to Scott's arrest for alleged violence against the security guard. A representative for the artist stated that they were in direct communication with local authorities to resolve the matter swiftly and would provide updates as necessary. Scott was in Paris to attend the Olympics and had previously watched the U.S. men's basketball team secure a spot in the finals against Serbia. Travis Scott is a prominent figure in the hip-hop industry, known for his numerous hits, including "Sicko Mode" and "Franchise." He has achieved significant commercial success, with over 100 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. The rapper is also a father of two children with media personality Kylie Jenner. This incident follows a previous arrest in June in Miami Beach, where he faced misdemeanor charges related to public intoxication and trespassing.
