Rapper Travis Scott is being sued by a man who alleges that one of his security guards violently assaulted him.
The lawsuit, obtained by Mirror US, was filed by Omar Muhanna, who claims he was injured outside a concert venue where Travis was performing.
According to legal documents, Omar asserts that the incident occurred on August 17, 2024, near the Javits Center in Manhattan, where Travis was appearing at Fanatics Fest. Omar alleges that the security guard attacked him "without cause, provocation, or justification," leaving him "seriously and permanently injured."
The lawsuit does not accuse Travis of personally being involved in the altercation, but instead holds him responsible due to his hiring of the security company. Omar claims that the guard acted within the scope of his employment and had a "propensity for the type of behavior" that led to the alleged assault. As a result, Omar is seeking damages from Travis.
This legal issue is not Scott's first. In the previous summer, the rapper was arrested in Miami for "disorderly intoxication and trespassing" after a disturbance on a charter boat. He was held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and later released on bond.
