Travis Scott Takes Miami.
Before the Sicko Mode rapper’s arrest for disorderly intoxication on Thursday, he allegedly tried to explain his behaviour by saying, “It’s Miami.”
Scott — who shares two kids with Kylie Jenner — made the hilarious quip after cops interrogated him about whether he’d been drinking that night, according to the affidavit obtained by the Daily Mail.
Despite his run-in with the law, the rapper assured fans on X that the European leg of his “Circus Maximus” tour will resume without a hitch next Friday.
“6 days to circus Maximus tour,” he wrote. “For the record I’m going. Ham.”
He also seemingly trolled his arrest by sharing a photoshopped image of his mugshot with wire headphones and sunglasses on.
“lol,” he tweeted shortly after the news broke.
Ten Miami Beach officers were called to the marina shortly after 1am amid reports of “fighting” when a yacht owner reportedly asked Scott to get off his boat.
When they arrived at the scene, officers reportedly found Scott, 33, “disturbing the peace” by “yelling” at people and “behaving erratically.”
Police said there was “a strong smell of alcohol” on the rapper’s breath and he continued “yelling obscenities” at the people on the boat as they tried to coral him back to his waiting vehicle.
However, the “Astroworld” rapper allegedly refused to comply with police and was taken into custody for two misdemeanours: disorderly intoxication and trespassing.
The ordeal seemingly took a few hours as Scott, whose real name is Jacques Webster, wasn’t booked at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center until 4:35am.
After taking a glossy-eyed mugshot, the rapper posted his $US650 bail and was released.
Despite reports of a fight, a source familiar with the case told us that “there was no physical altercation with anyone.”
“This was a rowdy party, and Travis was already bailed out for a few hundred dollars. He is already home,” they said. “There will be no further action to be taken, as it was a minor incident akin to receiving a ticket with no injuries.”
While a rep for the Miami-Dade Police Department did not respond to Page Six’s request for comment, they told local TV station WSVN that Scott was “drunk, causing a disturbance and asked to leave multiple times” before they showed up.
Scott “became irate, screaming profanities, left and returned to disturb some more,” they claimed.
