US rapper Travis Scott has been arrested early Friday after allegedly assaulting a security guard at a five-star hotel in Paris, the French capital.
According to a statement by the Paris prosecutor’s office police were called to the hotel after the rapper was violent to the guard.
“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 statement said.
Scott was seen attending the Olympics men’s basketball semi-finals on Thursday evening.
The music star, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster, was arrested in Miami Beach in June for trespassing and disorderly intoxication, records showed.
He was released on bond after paying $500 on the disorderly intoxication charge and $150 on the trespassing charge.
Scott is currently partway through his Circus Maximus Tour which will see him set down in Latin America, New Zealand, and Australia in the fall, to then return to the U.S. for a date in Las Vegas.
Scott’s “Utopia” was a nominee for Best Rap Album at this year’s Grammy Awards.
Other endeavours include merchandising deals with Nike, video game maker Epic Games, and McDonald’s fast food.
Scott has two children with social media giant and business mogul Kylie Jenner.
