Paris authorities said custody « has been lifted and all proceedings were terminated because the incident was minor.”
ADVERTISEMENTMusic artist Travis Scott has been released from police custody without a charge after his arrest at a Paris hotel following an altercation with a security guard.
In a statement, the Paris prosecutor’s office said, “the police custody order for Travis Scott has been lifted and all proceedings (against him) were terminated because the incident was minor.”
Scott was arrested early on Friday after police were called to the Georges V hotel to detain a man “nicknamed Travis Scott for violence against a security guard ».
The hotel security guard had intervened in the altercation between the rapper and his bodyguard.
The rapper was in Paris for the Olympics. He watched the United States rally over Serbia in the men’s basketball semifinal on Thursday night.
Scott is one of the biggest stars in hip hop. His birth name is Jacques Webster. He has more than 100 songs that made the Billboard Hot 100 and released four singles that topped the chart: “Sicko Mode,” “Highest in the Room,” “The Scotts,” and “Franchise.”
He has two children with his former girlfriend, media personality and businesswoman Kylie Jenner.
In June, Scott was arrested in Miami Beach on misdemeanor charges of trespassing and public intoxication after officers said they had found him at the city’s marina shouting obscenities at people on a yacht and disobeyed their order to leave.
