Yet another celeb arrested for getting drunk or worse, and doing as they please. It is a common theme these days.
Rapper, singer, songwriter, and producer Travis Scott was arrested this week in Miami Beach on charges of disorderly intoxication. The 33-year-old artist, whose legal name is Jacques Bermon Webster II, has had a significant impact on the music industry, rising to fame after being mentored by Kanye West and signing major deals with Epic Records and G.O.O.D. Music. His career took off with hits like “Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight” and “Astroworld,” the latter featuring the immensely popular track “Sicko Mode.”
Scott’s arrest occurred in the early hours of Thursday, June 20, at the Miami Beach Marina. According to reports, police were called to the scene following a disturbance on a yacht. When officers arrived, they found Scott yelling at the occupants of the vessel. Initially, he complied with police commands but soon became uncooperative. The complainant indicated that he did not wish to press charges but wanted Scott removed from the yacht. Officers noted a strong smell of alcohol on Scott’s breath.

Despite agreeing to leave, Scott quickly returned to the yacht, continuing to yell obscenities and causing a public disturbance. His behavior led to his arrest around 1:15 AM. Scott later admitted to drinking alcohol, attributing his actions to being in Miami. He was released after posting a $650 bond.
Scott’s arrest in Miami is not entirely surprising given his ties to the area. He owns CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches, the spring training home of the Houston Astros, located in West Palm Beach. This property underscores his connection to South Florida, where he has spent considerable time.

In addition to his musical achievements, Scott is known for his high-profile relationship with Kylie Jenner, with whom he shares two children. His career, however, has been marred by controversy, including the tragic Astroworld Festival incident in 2021, which resulted in several fatalities.
Despite these challenges, Scott continues to be a prominent figure in the music industry. He is set to embark on his UTOPIA – Circus Maximus Tour, with performances scheduled across Europe. The tour is slated to begin on June 28 in the Netherlands and includes stops in Poland, Switzerland, France, Belgium, the UK, the Czech Republic, and Italy.

Scott’s stage name is a tribute to two influential figures in his life: his uncle, Travis, and his musical idol, Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi. This combination of names reflects the impact these individuals have had on his life and career.
As Scott prepares for his upcoming tour, his recent arrest adds another chapter to his complex public persona. Balancing his artistic endeavors with personal controversies, he remains a compelling and influential figure in contemporary music. No one can doubt that. But will he be a repeat offender as so many others in his position have? Let’s hope he settles down and realizes that he is not above the law.
