The ex-partner of Kylie Jenner rapper Travis Scott allegedly told police “it’s Miami,” after he was arrested in the US for disorderly intoxication and trespassing.
The 33-year-old rapper was booked for allegedly causing a “disturbance” on a charter boat at the Miami Beach Marina, in Florida, early on Thursday morning, US time.
Scott – who has two children with Keeping up with Kardashians’ star Jenner – was getting off the boat when the boat owner told him to leave, TV station 7News Miami reported.
A fight reportedly broke out on the yacht.
The boat owner reportedly didn’t want to press charges but did want him away from the vessel.
After leaving, Scott allegedly then walked back towards to boat and became “erratic” and began yelling, ignoring multiple police warnings to stay away from the vessel, reported The New York Post.
“He was drunk, causing a disturbance, and asked to leave multiple times,” Miami Beach Police Department officers told the network.
Officers said Scott “became irate screaming profanities, left, and returned to disturb some more”.
Scott was arrested at 1.17am (3.17pm AEST) and booked at 4.35am at Miami-Dade County Jail.
He allegedly told police “it’s Miami,” when he told them he had been drinking.,
He has posted bond, which was set at $500 ($A750) for trespassing and $150 ($A225) for disorderly intoxication, reported the US Sun.
Scott – real name is Jacques Bermon Webster – was seen looking sombre and bleary-eyed in his mugshot.
He appeared to address the arrest when he posted “LOL” on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday.
“There was no physical altercation with anyone,” a source familiar with the incident told The Post.
“This was a rowdy party and Travis was already bailed out for a few hundred dollars. He is already home,” they added.
Scott is eight days away from his European tour, Circus Maximus, which kicks off in Arnhem, Netherlands on June 28.
His arrest comes after he was allegedly involved in a fistfight with Jenner’s other ex Tyga at a party in Cannes.
Several videos showed several people, including Scott and Tyga, in the brawl in May.
It began behind a DJ booth at a party hosted by promoter Richie Akiva and nearly spilled out into the crowd.
The fight also involved Cher’s boyfriend, Alexander “AE” Edwards, and producer Southside
Before the altercation, rapper Richie announced to the crowd that both Scott and Tyga were in the room – which reportedly angered Scott.
He snatched the microphone out of Richie’s hand, threatened Tyga’s security, and stormed offstage, entertainment website TMZ reported at the time.
Southside and AE started to fight when Scott brought Southside to the stage, The New York Post’s Page Six reported.
It was reported that security broke up the brawl and no one was severely injured.
Scott and Tyga have both dated Kardashians star Kylie – although sources insisted their mutual ex wasn’t the cause of the disagreement.
Jenner began dating Tyga when she was 17 and he was 24 in 2014.
They split in 2017 and Jenner began dating Scott the same month that they broke up.
The reality star became pregnant in September 2017 and they welcomed their first child, daughter Stormi Webster, in February 2018.
The couple announced in October 2019 that they were taking a break and continued to co-parent.
They reconciled in 2021 and announced they were expecting their second child together.
Jenner welcomed their son Aire Webster, now 2, in 2022.
They split for good in January 2023.
Scott faced controversy in 2021 when 10 people were killed and hundreds injured in a crowd surge during his set at Astroworld music festival in Texas.
The rapper continued to perform for more than 30 minutes after a “mass casualty incident” among the crowd of 50,000 people was declared.
An independent investigation into the tragedy was rejected in 2021. Scott was not charged.
