New footage shows Travis Scott being escorted out of Paris' Four Seasons Hotel George V in handcuffs following an altercation with his bodyguard. Arrested early on August 9, 2024, Scott, who was reportedly intoxicated, is facing charges related to assault. The rapper is in Paris for the 2024 Olympics.
In the early hours of August 9, 2024, Travis Scott was seen in new video footage being led out of the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris in handcuffs, following a reported altercation with his bodyguard. The rapper, whose real name is Jacques Webster, was dressed in a yellow hoodie, black sweatpants, and sneakers. Hotel staff attempted to shield the scene from photographers, but the footage shows Scott being escorted by police officers to a squad car.
According to reports, Scott, who is in Paris for the 2024 Olympics, was involved in a heated dispute with his security team. The altercation reportedly began when Scott confronted his bodyguard over a photographer gaining access to his car's trunk. The argument escalated, prompting hotel staff to call the police. Scott appeared to be intoxicated at the time.
The Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed that Scott was arrested for assaulting a security guard who intervened in the confrontation. Following his arrest, Scott was briefly placed in an ambulance before being taken to jail. A representative for Scott stated that they are working with Parisian authorities to resolve the matter promptly.
This incident comes after Scott’s arrest in Miami in June for disorderly intoxication, a charge that was later dropped. Scott's legal team has promised to address the situation swiftly. The rapper is expected to be released later today.
