Reports indicated that Scott was drunk at the time of the altercation, which became physically violent very fast. The rapper was in Paris to view a portion of the Olympic Games but will now face very serious legal implications rather than enjoying the event. There aren’t considerable details on what exactly caused the fight between Scott and his body guard; it’s developing.
This Paris arrest follows another legal trouble Scott had in Miami a few weeks ago. Following that incident, Scott was charged with public intoxication and trespassing. The latter charge would stick; the former would be dropped. The trail date for the latter is next month. Two cases back-to-back land the rapper under scrutiny, sparking debates over his behavior and future career.
As of now, Travis Scott’s representatives have yet to make any kind of comments with regards to the unrest in Paris. With no public statement already released, that leaves it upon the fans and the press alike to simply speculate what may have caused an early-morning altercation and what lies ahead for the embattled artist. With details still coming out, it’s not yet clear how this most recent incident will affect Scott’s reputation and career as the list of legal issues facing him continues to pile up over the past several months.
