Sometime in June 2024, Travis Scott was arrested on a “disorderly intoxication” charge following an unruly attitude on a yacht at Miami Beach, Florida. According to reports, he yelled at people on a private yacht which his Attorney described as a mere misunderstanding. The popular Showbiz news site TMZ reported that the charge of disorderly intoxication against Scott was dropped. However, he still faces a trespass charge.
Again, there was a major tragic incident at Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival in 2021. During the festival, ten fans lost their lives in a crowd surge.
