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 unique behavior, doesn't avoid scandals. During his stay in Paris, he encountered legal troubles once again. French media, citing the local prosecutor's office, reported that Scott was detained at the hotel Friday morning 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.

The argument escalated to the point where the police were called to the scene. Scott was not only given a warning but was also 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 faced legal troubles. In June, he was arrested in Miami for trespassing on private property and behaving indecently 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.
