United States rapper Jacques Bermon Webster, widely known as Travis Scott, has been arrested over a fight at a five-star hotel in Paris, the capital of France.

Travis Scott was arrested in Paris on Friday, August 9, 2024.

“Policemen were called to the Georges V hotel and arrested Travis Scott for violence against a security agent. The latter had intervened to separate the rapper from his bodyguard,” the Paris prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
