Travis Scott Arrested in Paris

PARIS — Renowned rapper Travis Scott was arrested early Friday at the Georges V hotel following an altercation involving a security guard, according to French prosecutors. The incident prompted police intervention after hotel security reported violence against a guard during a dispute between Scott and his bodyguard.

Scott, whose real name is Jacques Webster, was in Paris to attend the Olympics and had been seen at the men's basketball semifinal where the U.S. team faced Serbia the previous night. The rapper is a prominent figure in the hip-hop industry, boasting over 100 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including four chart-toppers: “Sicko Mode,” “Highest in the Room,” “The Scotts,” and “Franchise.” The incident marks a significant moment for Scott, who has maintained a high-profile career and personal life, including two children with former partner Kylie Jenner, a well-known media personality and businesswoman. As the situation unfolds, the Associated Press has reached out to Scott's representative for further comment on the arrest and the circumstances surrounding it. The rapper's legal troubles come as he continues to be a major influence in music and culture, raising questions about the impact of such incidents on his career and public image.
