Story

Travis Scott has been released from police custody in Paris after a brief detention related to a verbal altercation. The Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed on Saturday that the police custody order for the rapper, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster II, has been lifted, and all proceedings against him were terminated due to the minor nature of the incident. An insider revealed that no violence occurred between Scott and his security team, and he was held for 24 hours over a disagreement that did not escalate. Sources close to Scott indicated that there were no injuries to any parties involved, including his security personnel. The rapper has reportedly been overwhelmed by fans and paparazzi during his time in Paris, leading to frustrations that contributed to the verbal dispute. Footage circulating on social media shows Scott attempting to navigate through a crowd, which may have heightened tensions during the incident. Initially, the prosecutor’s office had stated that Scott was arrested for alleged violence against a security guard, prompting hotel security to intervene. This incident follows a previous arrest in Miami in June, where Scott faced charges of disorderly intoxication and trespassing after a yacht altercation. His lawyer had characterized that situation as a misunderstanding, and while the intoxication charge was dismissed, Scott still faces the trespassing charge. As of now, there are no plans for future charges against Scott in relation to the Paris incident, allowing him to continue his vacation without further legal complications.
