Travis Scott, known for his distinctive style and unique behaviour, has not avoided controversy. During his stay in Paris, he again found himself in legal trouble. French media, citing the local prosecutor's office, reported that on Friday morning, Scott was detained in the hotel following an argument with a security guard. An employee of the luxury hotel, Georges V, intervened after a dispute between the rapper and his bodyguard.

The argument escalated to the point where the police were called to the scene. Scott was not only warned but was 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 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 had legal issues. In June, he was arrested in Miami for trespassing on private property and indecent behaviour under the influence of alcohol. His lawyer at the time 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 remember this unfortunate trip to Paris for a long time. The police had ample reasons to detain him, and the presence of the paparazzi quickly turned the whole situation into a media sensation.
