MIAMI, FLORIDA – American rapper Travis Scott was taken into custody and booked at Miami-Dade County Jail early Thursday morning, as reported by county jail records. Scott, whose legal name is Jacques Bermon Webster, faces charges of trespassing property after being given a warning and disorderly intoxication, according to the jail records. A bond of $650 has been posted for the 33-year-old rapper, who was arrested at 1:44 a.m. at the Miami Beach Marina.
Authorities stated that Scott was on a charter boat and was involved in a disturbance with the crew, leading to his arrest. Police were called to the marina after Scott was asked to leave but returned and engaged in another dispute with the crew. Despite being asked to leave once more, Scott refused, resulting in his arrest last Thursday.
Known as one of the premier rap artists of the past decade, Scott gained recognition for his 2018 album “Astroworld” and the chart-topping single “Sicko Mode” featuring Drake, which garnered Grammy nominations. Last year, he released “UTOPIA,” his 10th Grammy-nominated album. Additionally, in his personal life, Scott shares children with Kylie Jenner, the youngest member of the Kardashian-Jenner family.
This incident at the Miami Beach Marina adds a chapter to Scott’s career, which has seen both critical acclaim and personal milestones. Fans and authorities alike await further updates on this developing story.
