Rapper Travis Scott was arrested early Friday morning at the Georges V hotel in Paris following an altercation with a security guard.

The Parisian prosecutor's office reported that police were called to the scene after a confrontation between Scott and his bodyguard, leading to a criminal investigation into 'unspecified violence' against the security guard.

The incident occurred after Scott attended a basketball game at the Olympics, and video footage captured him being chased by paparazzi prior to the altercation.

Sources indicate that Scott had been 'chased and harassed' by paparazzi, which contributed to the escalation of the situation.

At the time of his arrest, Scott was reportedly very intoxicated, which complicated the situation for law enforcement.

Following his arrest, Scott was placed in police custody and later underwent a sobriety check before being questioned.

Scott's attorney has stated that the recent arrests are misunderstandings and expressed confidence that he will be cleared of any wrongdoing.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and it remains unclear whether Scott is still in police custody.

The case has been referred to the 1st district of the judicial police for further investigation.

Scott has a history of legal troubles, including a previous arrest for disorderly conduct at Lollapalooza in 2015.

He is also scheduled to go to trial on a remaining trespassing charge from a June incident in Miami.

Despite his legal issues, Scott maintains lucrative merchandising deals with major brands like Nike and McDonald's.
