Travis Scott is facing some legal troubles.
The "Sicko Mode" rapper (real name Jacques Bermon Webster II) was arrested and booked on charges of disorderly intoxication and trespass of property after a warning in Miami, Florida, June 20.
Authorities responded to a disturbance on the docks of Miami Beach at around 12:40 a.m., and arrived to find Scott "standing by the dock and yelling" at a boat docked nearby, according to police records viewed by E! News. The police at the scene, who noted they smelled alcohol on Scott's breath, wrote in the report that they asked the rapper to "sit down," which he initially obliged before "continuously standing back up disregarding officers commands."
According to police, the owner of the boat said they did not want to press charges, and only wanted Scott to leave the premises. After a "lengthy" walk back up the pier, during which Scott walked backward and continued to yell obscenities directed at the boat owner, he was warned by officers he would be arrested if he did not vacate the dock and then subsequently departed.
However, Scott returned once more about "five minutes" later and began walking back toward the vessel. When approached by law enforcement for a second time, the 33-year-old became "erratic" and was "disturbing the peace" of other residents of the marina, the report states.
Following this interaction, Scott was taken into custody and later admitted to being intoxicated, telling authorities, "It's Miami."
The rapper—who shares kids Stormi, 6, and Aire, 2, with ex Kylie Jenner—was transported to Miami-Dade Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and was booked just after 4:30 a.m. for a $650 bond.
A source familiar with the situation told E! News that the altercation was not physical and Scott has since been bailed out and returned home. Later, lawyer Bradford Cohen issued a statement on behalf of Scott.
"Mr. Scott was briefly detained due to a misunderstanding," the statement read. "There was absolutely no physical altercation involved, and we thank the authorities for working with us towards a swift and amicable resolution."
Scott's altercation at the marina comes less than a month after he and Alexander "A.E." Edwards got into a tense confrontation during the Cannes Film Festival.
During the May 23 encounter, Scott appeared to attempt to push A.E. off of a stage at the 2024 amFAR gala. And while Scott has not addressed the ordeal, Edwards—who has been dating Cher on and off since 2022—later confirmed there was no bad blood between the musicians.
"It's all good—I don't got no hard feelings," Edwards told TMZ later that month, emphasizing that he and Scott were "cool."
