Travis Scott, the 33-year-old rapper and entertainer, found himself in legal trouble on Thursday morning (June 20) following a disturbance at the Miami Beach Marina. The incident, which occurred on a chartered boat, led to his arrest on charges of trespassing and disorderly intoxication.
According to local news outlet WSVN, the situation escalated when the owner of the chartered ship asked Travis Scott to leave the premises. The Miami PD spokesperson stated, “He was drunk, causing a disturbance and asked to leave multiple times.” Despite repeated requests to vacate the boat, Travis reportedly became increasingly agitated, yelling profanities, and even left and returned to continue causing a disturbance.
The situation culminated in Travis Scott’s arrest at 1:17 a.m. local time. He was charged with “trespassing property after being given a warning and disorderly intoxication,” according to a report from CNN. His bond was set at $650, which he promptly posted that morning, securing his release.
In the hours following his arrest, Travis Scott’s mugshot was released by the police. Not one to shy away from the limelight, Travis reacted to the news of his arrest with a touch of humor. On his Instagram Story, he posted the mugshot but added some playful alterations, including sunglasses and earbuds, perhaps to lighten the mood or diminish the severity of the situation.
He also took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), sending out a one-word tweet that read, “Lol,” just hours after the arrest. This casual response suggests that Travis might not be taking the incident too seriously, or it could be his way of deflecting the negative attention.
Following the incident, a legal representative for Travis Scott issued a statement to clarify the situation. “Mr. Scott was briefly detained due to a misunderstanding. There was absolutely no physical altercation involved, and we thank the authorities for working with us towards a swift and amicable resolution,” the statement read.
In his personal life, Travis Scott is well-known for his past relationship with Kylie Jenner, with whom he shares two children: Stormi, 6, and Aire, 2. The rapper’s relationship with Jenner and his role as a father often keep him in the public eye, adding another layer of interest to any news involving him.
