Rapper Travis Scott arrested in Miami Beach on trespassing and public intoxication charges

Rapper Travis Scott was arrested by Miami Beach police early Thursday on misdemeanour charges of trespassing and public intoxication.

Miami Beach police confirmed the arrest, but did not immediately provide any details. Scott, 33, posted his US$650 ($1061) bond, which means he will be released later on Thursday, Miami-Dade County jail records show.

His publicists, Jamie Sward and Alexandra Baker, did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment, and jail records don’t list an attorney for Scott.

His agent, David Stromberg, didn’t immediately respond to a message sent to his LinkedIn account.

Scott, who is one of the biggest names in hip-hop and whose birth name is Jacques Webster, has more than 100 songs that made the Billboard Hot 100 and put out four singles that topped the chart: Sicko Mode, Highest in the Room, The Scotts, and Franchise.
