Rapper Travis Scott arrested in Miami Beach
Travis Scott, the sensational rapper, songwriter, singer, and record producer, was arrested last night in Florida. The 33-year-old artist was arrested in Miami on suspicion of disorderly conduct and criminal trespass.
As reported by People, when police arrived, they found Scott, 33, standing on the dock yelling at people on the boat, according to the report. The officers told him to sit down, but he continued to get up and scream. They could smell alcohol on his breath, the report says.
The man who called the police did not want to press charges, so Scott was allowed to leave.
However, as he walked away, Travis Scott kept turning around to shout obscenities at the people on the yacht. He left as a passenger in a waiting car, but returned five minutes later and ignored officers’ orders to leave again, the report says.
Officers say he then began yelling again, disturbing people on nearby boats and buildings. When officers asked him if he had been drinking, he responded, “It’s Miami.” After that, he was arrested.
According to People, Travis Scott had bail of $650, which included $150 for drunkenness and $500 for the other. Bail was reportedly submitted on Thursday.
After his release, he posted on social platform X, “Lol.” Also read – Kylie Jenner breaks down in tears on Thursday’s episode of The Kardashians
This is not the first time Travis Scott has been involved in a police investigation.
Ten people died among a large crowd at Travis Scott’s 2021 performance at his Astroworld Festival in his native Houston. Attendees were so packed together that many could not breathe or move their arms. The deceased, who were between 9 and 27 years old, died from compression asphyxiation, which one expert compared to being crushed by a car.
Lawyers for the victims alleged in lawsuits that the deaths and hundreds of injuries at the concert were caused by negligent planning and a lack of concern for the capacity and safety of the event.
Scott, promoter Live Nation and the other defendants denied these claims and said safety was their primary concern. They said what happened could not have been foreseen.
The final lawsuit was settled last month.
After a police investigation, a grand jury declined to indict Scott, along with five other people connected to the festival.
