Houston-born rapper Travis Scott, real name Jacques Bermon Webster II, was arrested in Paris on Friday morning after a violent confrontation with a security guard outside the five-star George V hotel, located next to the Champs Elysees avenue. Contacted by Variety, a rep for the hotel declined to comment and said “an investigation is going on.”

According to local media, Scott and one of his bodyguards were fighting near the hotel when the security guard intervened, which was met with violence from Scott. Police were then called to the hotel at 5 a.m. local time to break up the fight.

In a statement, the Paris prosecutor’s office explained: “I can confirm that on August 9, 2024, shortly after 5 a.m., the police were called to the Georges V hotel and arrested the person nicknamed Travis Scott for violence against a security guard. The latter intervened to separate the rapper from his bodyguard.”
