Rapper Travis Scott has been arrested in Paris for getting into a drunken brawl with his bodyguard hours after he sat courtside to watch Team USA at the Olympics, according to local reports.
The “Butterfly Effect” hitmaker, 33, was detained by police early Friday following a boozy night out in the French capital with his entourage, local outlet Le Parisien reports.
The heated exchange between Scott, whose real name is Jacques Webster, and his bodyguard — which reportedly turned physical — took place at the luxury Four Seasons Hotel George V hotel in the city’s posh 8th arrondissement.
Scott, who is currently staying at the celeb hotspot during the 2024 Olympics, returned to the hotel late Thursday night before getting involved in a fight with a member of his team, law enforcement sources told the outlet.
“He was not in the right condition to be questioned straight away, so was put in a cell where he is still sobering up,” an insider told the outlet.
The rapper, who was reportedly under the influence at the time of the ordeal, was arrested just after 5 a.m. local time, with officers saying he was still “sobering up” in his jail cell before a round of questioning.
Police were called to the hotel — located just moments away from the Champs-Élysées — after reports of “acts of violence against a receptionist,” sources said.
The “Sicko mode” hitmaker, who shares two kids with ex-girlfriend Kylie Jenner, is currently in Paris for the Olympic Games.
Scott joined his pal and fellow rapper Quavo and Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin front row at the USA-Serbia basketball semi-final late Thursday.
The trio were displaying a range of emotions during the nail-biting match-up, which saw Team USA’s men’s basketball team overcome a double-digit deficit in the fourth and advance to Saturday’s final against France.
The 10-time Grammy nominee’s arrest comes just one day after bodycam footage from his Miami Beach trespassing arrest on June 20 was released.
In the video, Scott told police officers he was “scared” by their large presence after officers responded to a report of people fighting on a yacht and found Scott standing by the dock and yelling at the occupants of one of the boats.
Scott was then taken into custody in connection with misdemeanor trespassing and public intoxication, the latter charge has since been dropped.
