Travis Scott has reportedly been arrested in Miami for “disorderly intoxication and trespassing”.

According to jail booking records (per NBC News), the ‘Goosebumps’ rapper was arrested early this morning (June 20) for disorderly intoxication in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

Scott – real name Jacques Bermon Webster – was taken into custody at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center around roughly 4:30am. Along with the charge of disorderly intoxication, he was also booked for trespassing property after warning (per Sky News).

According to Daily Mail, the rapper submitted a $650 (£513) bond – comprised of $500 (£395) for his trespass charge and $150 (£118) for disorderly intoxication. It has not been revealed if he has been released or not.

Scott’s arrest comes eight days before his international Circus Maximus stadium tour is set to kick off on June 28 in the Netherlands.

The ‘Astroworld’ rapper is the latest celebrity to be arrested this week. Pop star Justin Timberlake was arrested on June 18 in Long Island, New York for “driving while intoxicated”.

According to a complaint obtained by the New York Post, the 10-time Grammy Award winner claimed to have consumed just “one martini” before following his friends home in his car.

Elsewhere, it was previously announced that the trial for Astroworld’s final wrongful death lawsuit has been officially set for later this year.

The suit concerns the 2021 Astroworld tragedy, in which 10 people were killed and hundreds more injured in a deadly crowd crush during Scott‘s headline set.

More recently, it was revealed that Drake, who performed on the night, was seeking to be dismissed from the ongoing litigation over the crowd crush tragedy.

Drake was a surprise guest during the set at the Houston festival and was initially questioned for several hours in a deposition tied to hundreds of lawsuits filed in Harris County after the crowd rush.
