Hip-hop artist Travis Scott was arrested in the early hours of Thursday morning in Miami Beach, Florida, on charges of disorderly intoxication and trespassing, according to jail booking records. The 33-year-old rapper, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster, was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center around 4:30 a.m.
Records indicate that Scott submitted a bond of $650 and is expected to be released. ABC News has reached out to authorities for further details regarding the circumstances surrounding his arrest.
The “goosebumps” rapper shares two children with reality TV star and businesswoman Kylie Jenner, although the couple is no longer together. Their children are Stormi, 6, and Aire, 2.
Scott’s arrest comes at a particularly inopportune time, as he is set to embark on his European tour, Circus Maximus, which is scheduled to begin next Friday in The Netherlands. The tour is expected to take the rapper to various cities across Europe, showcasing his popular hits and high-energy performances.
The news of Scott’s arrest has sent shockwaves through the music industry, leaving fans speculating about the potential impact on his upcoming tour. It remains to be seen whether the legal issues will affect his ability to travel and perform as planned.
This is not the first time the rapper has found himself in the spotlight for controversial reasons. In November 2021, a crowd surge at Scott’s Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas, resulted in the deaths of 10 attendees and injuries to hundreds more. The incident led to multiple lawsuits and raised questions about event safety and crowd management.
As more information emerges about Scott’s recent arrest, fans and the music community will be closely following developments to see how the situation unfolds and whether it will have any lasting consequences for the rapper’s career and upcoming performances.
