Travis Scott has been released without charge following his arrest in Paris

The unmistakable Travis Scott has been released without charge after being arrested in Paris in the early hours of Friday morning. The incident, which quickly made global headlines, followed an altercation involving his own bodyguard.

A representative for Scott confirmed that the rapper was released without charge. According to close sources, the confrontation stemmed from Scott’s frustration with his bodyguard, who failed to protect him from the pressure exerted by fans and paparazzi surrounding him. Despite the tension of the moment, the confrontation was only verbal, with no injuries or violence reported.

Footage shows Scott calling for police assistance as he was surrounded by an insistent crowd. The scene reflects the chaotic reality surrounding figures of his calibre, where overexposure can lead to moments of high tension. A spokesman for the Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed in a report to NBC News that police were called to the George V hotel, where Travis Scott was briefly arrested.

On Thursday, Travis was one of the guests of honour at the men’s basketball semi-final between the USA and Serbia during the 2024 Summer Olympics. This event is part of a busy schedule that has seen him recently at Lisbon’s MEO Arena as part of his Circus Maximus tour, in promotion of his album Utopia. The tour will continue next month with stops in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and other destinations, cementing his global status in the music industry.

This is what the track ‘Can u be’ by Ye, Ty Dolla Sign and Travis Scott sounds like.
