Summer 2024 was particularly hectic for Travis Scott, the famous American rapper known for his energetic performances. Between legal wrangling and controversial incidents, the artist has made headlines several times.
Incident in Miami
In June 2024, Travis Scott was arrested in Miami Beach for public disorder while he was drunk. The incident took place on a yacht rented by the rapper for a private party. What could have been a simple dispute with the boat owner has turned into a complex legal matter.
Scott’s legal team, led by lawyer Bradford Cohen, recently filed a motion to have the trespass charge dismissed. Their main argument is that there was insufficient signage at the location where Scott was arrested, which calls into question the legitimacy of the charge.

Incident in Paris
A few weeks later, in August 2024, Travis Scott made himself known again in Paris. The rapper was detained for 36 hours following an alleged altercation with a security guard at the Hotel Georges V. The incident allegedly involved his own bodyguard and required medical intervention for Scott.
Unlike the Miami case, the Paris incident was resolved quickly. Travis Scott was released without charge after his arrest, the Paris Public Prosecutor’s Office having dismissed the case on the grounds that the offence was not sufficiently characterized.
Impact on career
Despite these controversies, Travis Scott’s career seems to be unaffected. The artist continues to work on his musical projects, including the re-release of his mixtape "Days Before Rodeo" scheduled for tomorrow, August 23, 2024, marking the tenth anniversary of its original release.
The summer of 2024 was a tumultuous time for Travis Scott, with legal incidents and controversy. However, his popularity and musical career seem to withstand these turbulences, demonstrating the artist’s resilience in the face of adversity.
