Travis Scott has been released from prison in Paris, where he found himself in legal trouble after getting into a fight with his bodyguard at a hotel. He won't be facing any charges related to the incident, according to TMZ. "Travis Scott has been released with no charges," a representative for Scott told the outlet. They further added that there "were no injuries to any other party including his security."

Authorities first arrested him on Friday around 5:00 AM at the George V Hotel. "I can confirm that on August 9, 2024, shortly after 5 a.m., the police were called to the Georges V Hotel and arrested the man nicknamed Travis Scott for assaulting a security guard," the Paris prosecutor's officer said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE. "The latter had himself intervened to separate the rapper from his bodyguard. The 1st judicial police district was seized of the investigation by the Paris prosecutor's office."

The two sat courtside as LeBron James, Stephen Curry, as well as Kevin Durant and more NBA stars led an incredible comeback to advance to the gold medal match against France.

Earlier in the trip, Scott found himself in more drama after paparazzi pestered him following an apparent studio session. He went off on them, labeling the group the "weirdest amount of people" he'd ever met. "Go to sleep. How old are you? […] Y’all [are] too grown for this. Go get something. Catch a vibe," he remarked.
