AceShowbiz - Footage of Travis Scott (II) getting arrested in Paris has surfaced, showing the rapper being pulled out of the lobby of the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel George V by French police after an altercation. The incident, which took place around 5 A.M. on Friday morning, August 8, was reportedly sparked by tensions that had been simmering over multiple days.

A 1-minute video, obtained by TMZ and shared widely across social media, appears to be captured through a hotel window. It shows Scott in the lobby with his hands up as officers place him in handcuffs. Moments later, he's seen escorted out of the hotel and placed in the back of a patrol car.

Sources indicate that prior to his arrest, Scott, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster II, had been angered after "multiple days of being chased and harassed by paparazzi." The situation escalated into a fight involving Scott, a member of his security team, and hotel security.

The Paris prosecutor's office confirmed that Scott was arrested for "violence against a security guard," with police labeling the situation as "violence against another person."

Following his booking at a local jail, Scott was transported to a hospital to ensure he wasn't injured, as vase glasses were shattered during the altercation. His condition, reportedly intoxicated at the time, delayed immediate questioning.

The rapper's representative stated, "We are in direct communication with the local Parisian authorities to swiftly resolve this matter and will provide updates when appropriate."

Scott, in Paris for the 2024 Olympics, was seen attending the U.S. men's basketball semi-final game against Serbia just hours before his arrest. His recent legal issues add to his string of previous altercations, including a June arrest in Miami for disorderly intoxication and trespassing.

The dramatic arrest scene saw Scott, wearing a yellow jumper and a dazzling chain, being escorted out with his head bowed, as hotel staff scrambled futilely to block cameras. Fans and onlookers gathered outside, shouting his name as the police car sped away.

Currently, Scott remains in custody amid an ongoing investigation. His legal team confirmed, "The police are talking to witnesses and other hotel employees as well as Travis's crew and reviewing footage from various locations."

Scott's past controversies, notably the 2021 Astroworld tragedy, continue to cast a shadow over his career. This latest incident only adds to his tumultuous history, capturing global attention and raising questions about the rapper's future in the public eye.
