Travis Scott turned his trespassing and public intoxication arrests into money-making opportunities. The 33-year-old artist printed a photo of himself smiling on a T-shirt to sell to fans on Thursday (June 20).
The shirt was emblazoned with the phrase “This is Miami,” which he allegedly told Miami Beach police when they detained him. Scott’s “Free the Rage” shirt sells for $35 on his website. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to his Cactus Jack Foundation.
Scott, whose real name is Jacques Webster, was arrested Thursday morning. When police responded to a call about a fight on a yacht, they encountered a drunk Scott.
The complainant did not want to press charges but asked that Scott be removed from the yacht. Scott was told he needed to leave “or he would be arrested.”
Scott left, but soon returned. He allegedly ignored police orders, leading to his arrest.
“Once the defendant began speaking with Chief Lemus, the defendant again began yelling, became erratic, disturbed the peace of residents of the marina and nearby residential buildings, and caused a public disturbance,” the police report explains. And ignored police warnings not to return to the Miami Beach pier.”
Scott is being held at the Turner-Guilford Knight Correctional Center. He was released on $650 bail.
