Travis Scott is facing a new lawsuit after a man, Omar Muhanna, accused one of the rapper’s bodyguards of assault during a concert in Manhattan on August 17, 2018. According to the lawsuit, the bodyguard allegedly attacked Muhanna, resulting in permanent injuries. However, the lawsuit does not directly implicate Scott in the incident, instead placing the blame on the security personnel employed by him. Muhanna is seeking unspecified damages for the alleged assault.
A representative for Travis Scott has denied any involvement in the incident, calling the lawsuit “rash” and stating that the rapper had no presence at the scene of the attack. Scott’s team has confirmed that they are addressing the situation.
This lawsuit comes at a time when Travis Scott is enjoying a strong start to 2025, having released his new single “4×4” in January, which debuted on the Billboard Hot 100. His performance at the 2025 College Football National Championship, along with his contributions to California wildfire relief, further solidified his position in the music industry.
Despite the legal troubles, Scott’s career continues to soar, as he remains committed to pushing the boundaries of hip-hop and collaborating with other artists, including his desire to work with Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter.
