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 $650 bond, which means he will be released later 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.
Ten people were killed in a crowd surge at Scott’s 2021 performance at his Astroworld Festival in Houston.
Lawyers for the victims alleged in lawsuits that the deaths and hundreds of injuries at the concert were caused by negligent planning and a lack of concern over capacity and safety at the event.
After a police investigation, a grand jury declined to indict Scott, along with five others connected to the festival.
