The father of Kylie Jenner’s two children, Travis Scott, has been arrested after an alleged brawl following his appearance at an Olympics basketball match.

Rapper Travis Scott has been arrested in Paris following an alleged drunken brawl with his bodyguard.

Scott, 33, was detained at around 5am in his hotel after returning from the Olympics with French police reportedly saying he is still “sobering up” in his jail cell before being questioned.

His arrest came just hours after he was seen enjoying the Olympic semi-final basketball match between the US and Serbia on Thursday evening.

According to TMZ, Scott allegedly got into a violent brawl with his own bodyguard upon his return to his hotel. As a result, he was taken into police custody.

An investigating source told the publication: “He was not in the right condition to be questioned straight away, so was put in a cell where he is still sobering up.”

It marks the second time in a matter of months that the rapper has been arrested.

In June, the rapper was arrested in Miama, US, for disorderly intoxication.

Moments before his arrest, 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.

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.
