Travis Scott, one of the biggest stars in hip hop, was released from French police custody without a charge after an altercation with a security guard at a Paris hotel. The incident, deemed minor by French prosecutors, resulted in the termination of all proceedings against him.
The arrest occurred when police were called to the Georges V hotel to detain Scott, whose birth name is Jacques Webster, for violence against a security guard. The altercation had occurred between the rapper and his bodyguard, with the hotel security guard intervening.
It’s worth noting that Scott was in Paris for the Olympics and had attended the United States’ rally over Serbia in the men’s basketball semifinal the night before his arrest.
Scott’s musical career has been incredibly successful, with over 100 songs making the Billboard Hot 100. He has also released four singles that topped the chart, namely “Sicko Mode,” “Highest in the Room,” “The Scotts,” and “Franchise.”
In addition to his music, Scott is known for his high-profile relationship with media personality and businesswoman Kylie Jenner. The couple shares two children together.
This is not the first time Scott has had a run-in with the law. In June, he was arrested in Miami Beach on misdemeanor charges of trespassing and public intoxication. Officers found him at the city’s marina, shouting obscenities at people on a yacht and disobeying their order to leave.
Although Scott’s recent arrest may raise concerns among fans, it’s important to remember that minor altercations can occur in any profession, and celebrities are not exempt from such incidents. It is crucial to separate an artist’s personal life from their artistic achievements and give them the benefit of the doubt.
Overall, Travis Scott’s release from French police custody marks the end of a brief encounter with the law. As he continues to make waves in the music industry, it is essential to focus on his contributions as an artist and support his journey moving forward.
