American rapper Travis Scott was arrested in Paris early Friday morning after getting into a fight, according to police in the French capital. The incident took place at the George V luxury hotel at 5 a.m. local time (11 p.m. ET on Thursday) when authorities were called to intervene in a physical altercation involving Scott. He was subsequently arrested for 'violence against another person,' as confirmed by a police spokesman.
Scott, who was in Paris to attend the Olympic Games, had been present at the men's basketball semi-final where the United States emerged victorious over Serbia. The arrest came as a surprise to many, given Scott's high-profile status in the music industry and his recent public appearances.
