Travis Scott went to Paris to cheer on American athletes during the Olympic Games. Unfortunately, this trip didn't end well for him—a video documenting the moment of his arrest in front of a luxury hotel appeared online.

Travis Scott, known for his distinctive style and original behaviours, doesn't avoid scandals. During his stay in Paris, he once again had legal troubles. French media, citing the local prosecutor's office, reported that on Friday morning, Scott was detained in the hotel after an argument with a security guard. An employee of the luxury hotel, Georges V, intervened after a quarrel between the rapper and his bodyguard.

Travis Scott detained by police

The argument escalated to the point where the police were called to the scene. Scott was not only given a warning but was detained in handcuffs. Paparazzi captured the incident, making the situation particularly unfortunate for the rapper.

French media also reported that Scott was under the influence of alcohol. So far, the artist himself has not commented on the scandal. However, the police are conducting further investigations into the matter.

More legal troubles

This is not the first time the 33-year-old rapper has had legal troubles. In June, he was arrested in Miami for trespassing on private property and indecent behaviour under the influence of alcohol. His lawyer then claimed it was a "mistake." A year earlier, in New York, Scott was accused of assaulting a nightclub employee but later settled with the club's owners.

Travis Scott will certainly not forget this ill-fated trip to Paris anytime soon. The police had no shortage of reasons to detain him, and the presence of paparazzi quickly turned the whole situation into a media sensation.
