Travis Scott Released After Alleged Altercation in Paris

Travis Scott has been released from police custody without any charges following an alleged fight at a hotel in Paris.

A representative for the Houston rapper confirmed the update about his legal situation in France on Saturday, August 10. Scott was arrested by police at the George V hotel early Friday morning after he reportedly got into a fight with his bodyguard. A security guard from the hotel attempted to break up the fight and was allegedly hurt during the scuffle. A source with knowledge of the situation tells iHeart the case was dismissed, and there are no plans to charge Scott in the future.

“Travis Scott has been released with no charges,” a rep confirmed.

The source says fans and paparazzi hounded Scott throughout the week he was in Paris for the Olympic games. Hours before he was arrested, Scott had cheered on Team USA during the Men’s basketball semifinals with Quavo. In videos posted online, you can see the Utopia artist trying to leave the event and walk through the streets as various photographers and other people filmed him. At one point, Scott even tried to get a police officer to help keep people away from him. Scott later blamed his security for not doing enough to protect him.

Police were called to the George V hotel after the verbal altercation between Scott and his bodyguard broke out. French authorities “overreacted” when they placed Scott in handcuffs and held him for 24 hours. The source said “no violence occurred” and there were no injuries to either party, including Scott’s security. The Paris prosecutors dismissed the case because the offense was “not sufficiently serious,” per NBC News.
