French authorities said Saturday that US rapper Travis Scott has been released from police custody in Paris. 

All charges dropped

The Paris prosecutor's office not only said he was released, but also that charges against him had been dropped.   

A US representative for Scott also said the rapper's management is communicating with French authorities "to swiftly resolve" the matter.

Known for several hits including "Sicko Mode," Scott was detained in the French capital on Friday after a dispute with one of his security guards at the Four Seasons George V hotel. Scott was in Paris attending the Olympic Games in the city.

No stranger to brushes with the law  

The musician, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster II, has a history of legal troubles in the US. 

In June, Scott was taken into custody on disorderly intoxication and trespassing charges in Miami Beach, Florida at a marina. Florida police officers reported that people complained Scott was combative with others on the yacht he had rented.    

In 2021, a deadly crowd crush took place at the Astroworld Festival, a musical concert event headlined by Scott. The crush, which occurred while Scott was on stage, killed 10 people. Several lawsuits were then filed against the Grammy-nominated rapper.
