Newly released bodycam footage shows what happened in the moments leading up to Travis Scott’s arrest earlier this year in Miami. Obtained and published by TMZ , the clips feature the Houston rapper pleading with law enforcement, explaining his anxiousness due to being outnumbered.
In a confrontation with the owner and captain of a yacht he claimed to have rented, the Grammy-nominated artist was first able to walk away. The musician details that men were “disrespectful” in their attempt to get him to exit the yacht. It was when he returned to allegedly retrieve a backpack he accidentally left when the interaction between Scott and Miami police officers resulted in an arrest.
“You’re really gonna lock me up after I was trying to get my bag?” the 33-year-old questioned. “This is a waste of y’all’s time right now.”
He continued to explain, “Y’all scared me, ’cause y’all scared me y’all told me to leave now or you’re gonna put me in cuffs,” adding, “There’s 50 cops around me bro.”
