Travis Scott made headlines earlier this month after his arrest in Miami on charges of disorderly intoxication and trespassing, stemming from a heated incident aboard a yacht. 

Initially clouded in speculation, the sequence of events began with a minor disagreement during a gathering on the vessel. 

Police were called in after tensions escalated, prompting them to ask Scott to leave the scene.

According to sources close to the situation who spoke with TMZ, Scott left behind crucial personal belongings, including his bag and phone, necessitating a return to the yacht to retrieve them. 

However, his request for a police escort back onto the yacht was denied, as he had already been instructed to stay away.

Despite the warnings, Scott allegedly decided to make another attempt, leading to his subsequent arrest.

The fallout from the incident was swift but not without its peculiarities. 

Hours after being taken into custody, Scott was released. Demonstrating his characteristic resilience, he wasted no time in boarding a flight back to Los Angeles. 

In an unexpected move, he capitalized on the notoriety of the arrest by launching new merchandise featuring his own mugshot on the very same day.

In response to the incident, Travis Scott's legal representative, Bradford Cohen, issued a statement clarifying the nature of the altercation. 

Cohen emphasized that the situation did not escalate to physical violence and characterized it as a "brief misunderstanding." 

He also expressed gratitude to the authorities for their cooperation in resolving the matter swiftly and amicably.
