Travis Scott mistaken for trespasser, tackled by security at Lakers-Clippers game

Video shows NBA security guard failed to recognize the rapper and tried dragging him.

Travis Scott found himself in an unexpected courtside altercation on Tuesday night after a security guard at the Intuit Dome mistook him for an unauthorized spectator.

The rapper, who was sitting courtside for the Lakers-Clippers game alongside Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin and his daughter Kylie, was stopped while attempting to exit the arena after the game.

As Scott, wearing a brown coat, chain, and green shirt, made his way across the court, a security guard—seemingly unaware of his identity—firmly grabbed the back of his coat, attempting to restrain him. Video footage shows Scott struggling to break free before additional security and venue staff intervened, allowing him to continue on his way.

Despite the bizarre incident, Scott appeared unfazed, dapping up someone near the tunnel before exiting. The situation left fans in disbelief, considering Scott's global fame as a multi-platinum artist and former Super Bowl halftime performer.

The Clippers and Intuit Dome officials have yet to comment on the incident, while Scott himself has remained silent. Meanwhile, on the court, the Lakers dominated the Clippers with a 122-97 victory, led by LeBron James’ 26-point performance.
