Footage of Travis Scott getting hauled out of a hotel by French police has surfaced online following reports of the American rapper’s arrest in Paris on Friday morning.
Scott is understood to have gotten into a fight with his own bodyguard, prompting a call to the authorities, who showed up and took him away in a police car.
The video below shows the lawmen taking him from the George V luxury hotel after approaching him and handcuffing him in front of guests. He is then hauled outside by three officers and put into the back seat of a car.

Scott was later taken to hospital in an ambulance for tests, though the reason remains unclear.
According to the prosecutor’s office, he is facing a charge of violence against a security guard, with the hotel staffer having tried to break up the fight between Travis and the bodyguard.
The rapper, who just wrapped up the European leg of his tour in Lisbon, Portugal, is in Paris for the Olympic Games. He was courtside when Team USA recorded a comeback against Serbia in the men’s basketball semifinal on Thursday.
He hasn’t had an easy time in Paris as the French paparazzi have been swarming him, even forcing him to ask police for help.

This is Travis Scott’s Second Brush With The Law Since June
Travis Scott has been arrested twice this year alone.
The celebrity, whose birth name is Jacques Bermon Webster, was booked into Miami-Dade County Jail on trespass and disorderly intoxication charges two months ago.
He was also investigated after a performance at Astroworld Festival in 2021 got out of hand, and 10 people lost their lives.
While he was cleared of wrongdoing last year, Scott is still facing lawsuits from some of the families of the victims.
