Rapper Travis Scott has been released without charges following an incident at a Paris hotel during the 2024 Olympics, according to his representatives. Scott, 33, was arrested early on Friday after reportedly getting into an argument with his bodyguard at the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel George V in the French capital.

No official statement has been issued yet by the French prosecutors regarding the incident. However, Scott's representatives confirmed to Page Six on Saturday morning that he had been released without any charges. A source close to the rapper revealed that the argument between Scott and his bodyguard arose from an encounter with paparazzi, stating that the rapper felt harassed and endangered by the swarm of photographers.

The altercation with his bodyguard took place at the upscale hotel in the 8th arrondissement, shortly after Scott had attended a basketball game where Team USA emerged victorious against Serbia. According to an insider, the argument erupted when Scott noticed one of the paparazzi looking into the trunk of his car. He confronted his bodyguard, questioning why he had allowed the photographer access to the vehicle's trunk, leading to an intense exchange of words.

Footage later emerged showing Scott being escorted out of the five-star hotel in handcuffs. The initial statement released by the Paris prosecutor's office to NBC indicated that Scott was arrested for assaulting a security guard who had intervened to separate him from his bodyguard. However, no charges have been filed against Scott, and his representatives maintain that there was no violence involved in the incident.

Sources close to the rapper revealed that Scott had been constantly pursued by paparazzi throughout his time in Paris for the Olympics. The intense scrutiny and intrusion may have contributed to the heated argument with his bodyguard. The source also stated that the hotel staff called the police after witnessing the argument, which resulted in Scott's arrest and subsequent 24-hour detention.

With Travis Scott now released and no charges filed against him, the incident serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by celebrities dealing with paparazzi pressure during high-profile events like the Olympics. As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen whether any further actions will be taken by the French authorities regarding the incident at the Four Seasons Hotel George V.
