Travis Scott has been arrested in Paris, France, a day before Kylie Jenner‘s 27th birthday.
The 33-year-old rapper was arrested in the early hours of Friday August 9, local time, inside a five-star hotel after he had spent the day cheering on Team USA in the basketball semi-finals at the 2024 Olympics.

“I can confirm that on August 9, 2024, shortly after 5 a.m., the police were called to the Georges V Hotel and arrested the man nicknamed Travis Scott for assaulting a security guard,” the Paris prosecutor’s officer said in a statement.
“The latter had himself intervened to separate the rapper from his bodyguard. The 1st judicial police district was seized of the investigation by the Paris prosecutor’s office.”

The arrest comes almost two months after he was arrested in Miami in June on charges of disorderly intoxication and trespassing on a property after a warning.

They split again in 2023 but have been co-parenting, with Kylie telling the Wall Street Journal that same year that they’re “doing the best job that we can do”.
