Travis Scott arrested after drunken fight with bodyguard at Paris hotel: report
Le Parisien reports.The heated exchange between Scott, whose real name is Jacques Webster, and his bodyguard — which reportedly turned physical — took place at the luxury Four Seasons Hotel George V hotel in the city’s posh 8th arrondissement.Scott, who is currently staying at the celeb hotspot during the 2024 Olympics, returned to the hotel late Thursday night before getting involved in a fight with a member of his team, law enforcement sources told the outlet.“He was not in the right condition to be questioned straight away, so was put in a cell where he is still sobering up,” an insider told the outlet.The rapper, who was reportedly under the influence at the time of the ordeal, was arrested just after 5 a.m. local time, with officers saying he was still “sobering up” in his jail cell before a round of questioning.Police were called to the hotel — located just moments away from the Champs-Élysées, sources said.A source told Page Six on Friday morning that Scott yelled at his own security guard at the famed Paris hotel after they got into an argument about local paparazzi.“They were screaming at each other, and the hotel freaked out and called the cops,” an insider said of the incident.The source said that Scott has been followed by paparazzi while moving around the city during the Olympics, and that one pap was allegedly looking in the trunk of Scott’s car when the rapper confronted his own guard asking why he’d let the pap look in the vehicle’s trunk, and the argument ensued.A video clip posted to X showed Scott getting into a car and calmly asking paps why they were still following him until 5a.m.
