Travis Scott was arrested in Paris early Friday after getting into argument with his bodyguard at a posh hotel.

The “Sicko Mode” rapper sat courtside at the Olympics the day before to see Team USA win over Serbia in a stunning comeback in the basketball semifinals.

But Scott, 33, was detained by Paris police Friday morning following a night out in the French capital with his entourage, local outlet Le Parisien reported.

The incident between the “Goosebumps” performer, whose real name is Jacques Webster, and his bodyguard went down at the luxe Four Seasons Hotel George V in the posh 8th arrondissement.

A source tells Page Six exclusively that Scott yelled at his security guard at the famed hotel after they got into an argument about local paparazzi.

“They were screaming at each other, and the hotel freaked out and called the cops,” the insider says of the incident.

The Paris prosecutor’s office said in a statement to NBC, “I can confirm that on Aug. 9, 2024, police officers were called to the George V hotel and arrested the rapper nicknamed Travis Scott for assaulting a security guard.”

The statement added: “The security guard had intervened to separate the rapper from his bodyguard. The Paris public prosecutor’s office has referred the case to the 1st district of the judicial police.”

A source tells Page Six that Scott has been followed by paparazzi while moving around the city during the Olympics.

The source says one pap allegedly was looking in the trunk of Scott’s car when the rapper confronted his own guard asking why he had let the photographer go into the vehicle’s trunk, and the argument ensued.

Scott was staying at the haute hotel during the Olympics and returned late before getting involved in the fight with the member of his team, law enforcement sources told Le Parisien.

“He was not in the right condition to be questioned straight away, so [he] was put in a cell where he is still sobering up,” an insider told the French outlet.

A video clip posted to X showed Scott earlier getting into a car and calmly asking paps that were following him before the incident why they were still trailing him until 5 a.m. in Paris.

In the clip, Scott says to the shutterbugs,  “How are you fellas? You followed me for a whole day.”

One responds with a French accent, “We’re just happy to see you.”

As Scott gets into his car, he jokes, “Go to sleep. … Y’all too grown for this. Go get some something. … I love y’all so much.”

He adds, “Go do something other than follow me! Go to the park, go the movies, get some grass, get some sun, go find a girl, get some ice cream! Enjoy yourself, baby! I just made some beautiful music.”

The 10-time Grammy nominee was also recently arrested in Miami Beach, Fla., on June 20 for disorderly intoxication, but the charge was later dropped. He is still reportedly facing a trespassing charge.

Scott had been on a charter boat in the Miami Beach Marina when its owner reportedly called cops and requested that the star leave the vessel.

Scott’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, told Page Six at the time: “Mr. Scott was briefly detained due to a misunderstanding. There was absolutely no physical altercation involved, and we thank the authorities for working with us towards a swift and amicable resolution.”

The rapper turned that incident into a marketing opportunity; after he allegedly told police, “It’s Miami” when they asked whether he had been drinking, he had the two words printed on a shirt with his mugshot from the incident.
