Scott was visiting the city for the 2024 Olympics when the event happened early on Friday, sparking widespread media attention due to the rapper’s high profile.
Representatives for Scott confirmed his release on Saturday morning, stating, “Travis Scott has been released with no charges.” The news was a relief to fans who had been concerned about the implications of the incident.
Paris police officials also confirmed the case has been closed, as communicated in an email to USA TODAY. The swift resolution of the situation has allowed Scott to continue focusing on his commitments, including his music and tour preparations.
Details Of The Incident In Paris
The dispute reportedly involved Scott and his bodyguard at the luxury hotel in Paris’ 8th arrondissement, shortly after Scott attended the Olympic men’s basketball semifinal between Team USA and Serbia.
According to sources, the altercation was triggered by frustrations over local paparazzi who had been following Scott throughout the city during his visit. The constant presence of paparazzi created a tense environment, leading to the confrontation.

One source indicated that a paparazzo was allegedly caught searching through the trunk of Scott’s car, leading the rapper to confront his bodyguard about the situation, which escalated into a verbal argument.
The incident’s video, which quickly circulated online, showed Scott getting handcuffed and led out of the hotel by law enforcement. The footage fueled speculation and concern among fans and the media.
However, the rapper’s close associates confirmed that there was no physical violence involved in the altercation—it was solely verbal. Although Scott’s detention by French officials for the night was confirmed, the Paris prosecutor’s office has not yet released a comment on the matter, leaving some questions unanswered.
Scott’s Encounters With The Law
This marks Scott’s second encounter with the law in recent months, following a prior incident in June. He was charged with trespassing and disorderly intoxication after an incident at a marina that led to his arrest in Miami. These legal troubles have not deterred Scott from his career ambitions.
Despite these recent events, Scott is still laser-focused on his profession and continues to push forward with his plans.
His Circus Maximus Tour, which is in support of his Grammy-nominated record “Utopia,” is scheduled to resume next month with stops throughout South America, where fans eagerly await his performances.
Scott’s ability to maintain his career momentum despite these challenges speaks to his dedication and resilience in the face of adversity.
