PARIS, France — Travis Scott was released from French police custody without charge following his arrest at a Paris hotel. The incident involved a confrontation with a security guard, as stated by French prosecutors on Saturday.

In a statement, the Paris prosecutor’s office declared, “the police custody order for Travis Scott has been lifted and all proceedings (against him) were terminated because the incident was minor.”

Scott’s arrest took place early Friday when police were summoned to the Georges V hotel. The altercation unfolded between the rapper and his bodyguard, prompting the intervention of a hotel security guard. The guard’s attempt to mediate led to the involvement of law enforcement.

The musician was in Paris for the Olympics. On Thursday night, he attended the men’s basketball semifinal between the United States and Serbia.
