Rapper Travis Scott was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida, on Thursday for disorderly intoxication and trespassing property after yelling at people on a yacht.
According to Miami Beach Police, the 33-year-old rapper — born Jacques Bermon Webster — was booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in the early morning hours on Thursday with his bonds set at $500 and $150, WSVN 7 in Miami reported.
Police said when they arrived at Miami Beach marina, officers saw Scott yelling at occupants of a vessel and that they smelled a strong scent of “alcohol coming from the defendant’s breath,” NBC News reported.
At first, Scott complied with officers when they instructed him to sit down, but then he got up and continued. Police then instructed him to leave the area or risk being arrested. He left, but while walking away, he yelled “obscenities to the occupants of the vessel,” a Miami Beach Police arrest affidavit read.

However, a short time later, he returned to the marina and headed back to the yacht, before officers caught up with him.
Scott is reported as speaking to one sergeant and “becoming erratic” and “disturbing the peace of the occupants of the marina and nearby residential buildings causing public disturbance,” the arrest affidavit added, before he was taken into custody.

“Mr. Scott was briefly detained due to a misunderstanding,” his legal rep Bradford Cohen told NBC News. “There was absolutely no physical altercation involved, and we thank the authorities for working with us towards a swift and amicable resolution.”
Later, Scott took to X and wrote about his arrest, noting his upcoming European tour.
“6 days to circus Maximus tour,” the rapper wrote. “For the record I’m going. Ham.”
The rapper also posted on his Instagram story about the arrest, including a picture of his mugshot and a second post using his mugshot but edited to include him wearing headphones and sunglasses.
He’s since been released from jail, WSVN noted. No word yet on whether he will need to appear in court to deal with the charges.
Scott shares two children with “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star Kylie Jenner: Stormi, 6, and Aire, 2. The two are no longer together.
