Travis Scott told police officers he was 'scared' of large law enforcement presence during arrest in Miami Beach: There's '50 cops around me!'

As a follower of pop culture and music, I have been closely monitoring the life and career of Travis Scott, a man whose talent and charisma has captivated millions around the world. From his electrifying performances to his high-profile relationships, he has undeniably made an indelible mark on the entertainment industry.


In recently unveiled body camera recordings from his summertime arrest at a Miami Beach marina, Travis Scott expressed to the police officers that he felt overpowered by their significant number.

A 33-year-old resident from Houston was eventually apprehended on charges related to minor trespassing and public drunkenness following an incident on June 20, after interacting with a team of police officers.

Last Thursday, as I found myself back at the marina past midnight (1:15 a.m. to be exact), I was determined to set the record straight with the police officers. You see, I had been asked to leave earlier due to a ruckus on a yacht at this seaside venue, and now I was returning, hoping to clear my name. The footage was published by TMZ.

The Franchise rapper informed the police that he wasn’t carrying any weapons, instead, he aimed to ensure the safety of his belongings so he could depart peacefully without causing any more disturbances.

Scott informed the officers, “I have no intention of doing anything, as I see no purpose in doing so.” He made sure they were aware their body cameras were recording.

Scott, known as Jacques Bermon Webster, informed the authorities that they were wasting their time at the moment, as he had come back to the marina because his belongings were left on one of the vessels.

I bolted out, leaving my belongings behind, heart pounding from the overwhelming presence of law enforcement, given the rumors swirling about a clash I’d found myself in.

Scott exclaimed, “You all startled me because when you ordered me to depart immediately, it made me think I might be arrested.”

One officer who responded mentioned that Scott was asked earlier if he had forgotten something on the boat, to which Scott replied negatively.

Scott told the officer he misspoke out of anxiety due to the large law enforcement presence at the marina: He said, [There’s] ’50 cops around me bro!’

As a diligent follower of instructions, I was informed by an officer that I needed to depart, yet here I am again. However, I found it necessary to return because I had inadvertently forgotten a vital item on my boat.

He reiterated that he was rattled by the numbers of law enforcement officials who responded to the initial call.

Scott attempted to reposition himself to look over his things left on the boat, but was instructed by the authorities not to return to the boat or risk being apprehended, as he had initially tried to do so.

Following Scott’s vocal disagreement with the officer regarding past remarks, officers apprehended him and took him into their care. Despite this, Scott maintained his composure and didn’t struggle when they put on the handcuffs.

According to recent updates from TMZ, it appears that the disorderly intoxication charge against Scott has been dropped in the mentioned incident.

On Thursday, following a court hearing, reports indicate that the artist behind the hit “Sicko Mode” saw one of his significant cases dismissed.

Kylie Jenner’s former partner was apprehended and detained by police due to creating a disorderly situation under the influence of alcohol on a yacht in Miami Beach. Amusingly, he posted ‘lol’ on social media during that period.

Scott was not in attendance at the most recent legal proceeding.

Yet, there’s a less favorable development for the man with two children; the State of Florida plans to pursue the misdemeanor trespassing allegation against him.

Scott is scheduled to go to trial for the misdemeanor charge on September 10.

In June, the rapper was taken into custody overnight due to disorderly conduct and trespassing at the marina, as reported by DailyMail.com. Scott was admitted into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center for these two misdemeanors around 4:35 a.m. on Thursday, according to court records.

Scott, father of Stormi and Aire with Kylie Jenner, was apprehended by the police at approximately 1:17 am at the Miami Beach Marina.

The rapper was involved in ‘a disturbance on a yacht’ which involved people ‘fighting’, according to police. Scott’s lawyer Bradford Cohen told DailyMail.com the fight was verbal in nature and ‘there was absolutely no physical altercation involved’. 

Ten officers arrived at the boat, and as stated in the affidavit, they discovered Scott standing near the dock and shouting at the people inside the boat.

In an attempt to de-escalate the situation, they asked Scott to take a seat, but he persistently rose again, seemingly ignoring their commands as documented. Police noted that there was a strong odor of alcohol emanating from Scott’s breath, and Sergeant Lemus cautioned him to vacate the dock or risk being arrested.

During the lengthy stroll from the ship to the dock, the accused walked in reverse and shouted profanities at those aboard the ship, as stated in the document.

After some time, Scott made his way back to his car and instructed one of his security guards to vacate the SUV, ensuring they couldn’t depart from the location. It seemed as though he was endangering his own security guard, warning officers that if the guard entered the vehicle, he would encounter a physical altercation, referring to it as ‘he’s gonna catch a fade.’

In the end, the rapper followed the officer’s instructions to depart. However, mere minutes after that, he spun around and returned, aiming to stir up even more trouble.

According to the police report, Scott repeatedly yelled and acted unpredictably, disrupting the tranquility of the marina and surrounding homes, leading to a public nuisance.

He was detained and taken to Miami-Dade corrections facility; when probed about whether he had been drinking alcohol, Scott said ‘it’s Miami’ and admitted that he had.

As a diligent adherent, I recently put forward a surety bond amounting to $650. This sum comprises a fee of $500 for the offense related to unlawful entry, and an additional $150 for the disruption caused by my intoxicated state.

Scott’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, informed DailyMail.com that the rapper was momentarily held because of a misinterpretation.

Cohen stated that there was no need for any sort of physical conflict, and he expressed gratitude to the authorities for their cooperation in achieving a peaceful and quick settlement.

In the mugshot released by Miami Dade Corrections facility, the artist from Astroworld looked tired-eyed and emotionless.

He appeared to respond on social media with a tweet simply reading ‘lol’ at 8:45 a.m. Thursday.  

As someone who has followed the Kardashian-Jenner family for years, I must say that seeing Scott Disick enjoying a family vacation with his children Stormi and Aire earlier this year in St Tropez was truly heartwarming. Having gone through my own share of ups and downs in life, I can appreciate the importance of spending quality time with one’s offspring and creating cherished memories together. The fact that Scott was pictured on a boat with his kids late May – his children with his ex-girlfriend Kylie Jenner – shows that he has moved past their breakup and is prioritizing his relationship with them, which I believe is commendable. It’s always inspiring to see individuals grow and learn from their experiences, and Scott seems to be doing just that. Here’s to hoping for more positive developments in his life!

The previous week, Scott was involved in a skirmish with Jenner’s previous ex Tyga, 34, in Cannes. 

Scott has been in an off-and-on romance with Kylie Jenner, the founder of Kylie Cosmetics, since 2017, though they are not a couple at present.

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott initially separated in October 2019, having started dating back in 2017. Their first child entered the world in February 2018.

In August 2021, it became official that Kylie and Travis were welcoming their second child together, following speculation that they had rekindled their relationship.

In January 2023, it became official that Kylie and Travis called it quits again, having reconciled in 2020 before this latest split.

It’s not the first instance where Scott has encountered legal issues. The rapper is currently dealing with a civil claim following the tragic deaths of ten individuals during a stampede at his concert in 2021.

Previously, Scott expressed his deep sorrow after the tragic incident at the Astroworld festival that took place on November 5, 2021 in Houston, Texas.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but echo the artist’s words when he shared with GQ that the catastrophe is constantly on his mind. Over the past two years, while immersed in creating his masterpiece, Utopia, I’ve sensed his struggle through those ‘difficult moments.’

The individuals, whose ages varied between nine and 27 years old, passed away due to the lack of air caused by being compressed, a situation compared by an expert to being run over by a vehicle.

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but share my dismay when the luminary confided in me his shattered dreams. He had endeavored tirelessly to elevate Houston to a status equivalent to New York and Los Angeles, aiming to inspire future generations. Unfortunately, his efforts seemed to have been thwarted, leaving him heartbroken. Earlier, he had expressed a desire to be a ‘hometown hero’ rather than a ‘villain.’

In December 2021, following the November 5 incident, Scott had a chat with podcaster Charlemagne Tha God for an interview.

During that chat, I found myself expressing that it was my “in-ear” confidant who should have prompted me to halt the spectacle prematurely, and I emphasized that I was oblivious to and not accountable for the tragic stampede and crushing of the crowd.

Scott asserted with absolute conviction that he had done everything possible to avert the catastrophe, and maintains he couldn’t hear the distress calls from the crowd as it became chaotic.

When asked about breaking his silence, he explained that life often brings unexpected events, and he is currently trying to sort through everything.

Scott added, ‘My heart wasn’t there to be the villain – I was there to be a hometown hero.’
