As the Grammy-winning artist faces mounting legal challenges, his recent string of public altercations is a cause for concern. In June, The Blast reported that Scott was arrested in Miami for disorderly intoxication and trespassing.

The incident landed him in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in the early hours. Despite posting bail shortly afterward, the "Sicko Mode" hitmaker's expressionless mugshot hinted at deeper issues.

The incident came just weeks before the highly anticipated kickoff of Scott's Circus Maximus stadium tour, marking a return to the stage three years after the tragic Astroworld festival.

The Blast reported that one of the charges brought against the raper in Miami was dismissed — the disorderly charge — however, the state of Florida will prosecute the trespassing charge.

Dressed in a stylish ensemble complete with a varsity jacket, T-shirt, and diamond necklace, Scott exuded confidence as he navigated the bustling Olympic scene. 

His signature braids and fade haircut completed the look, which he accessorized with a brown mini purse that perfectly matched his companion's red one.

His mystery date, equally eye-catching, donned a mini skirt, crop top, and a Team USA jacket. She hid her gaze behind dark sunglasses as she maintained a discreet distance from Scott in the photos.

Apart from bringing his style to the streets of Paris, Scott turned heads with his enthusiastic support for the United States men's basketball team. The songwriter was spotted cheering on Team USA during their thrilling semi-final match against Serbia.

The father-of-two was seen shouting and swearing as he threw his arms in the air and tried to hype up the crowd as the USA pulled off an insane comeback to beat Serbia. 

At one point, Scott even pulled his T-shirt over his head in a burst of excitement when the U.S. scored a critical point, further hyping up the crowd. 

The lively atmosphere at the game, which also saw fellow rapper Quavo in attendance, appeared to leave Scott in high spirits. Quavo arrived in style, donning a black shirt, blue jeans, and layers of chains, adding to the star-studded spectacle. 

While it is unclear if the adrenaline from the game contributed to the hotel incident, Scott's night in Paris was certainly one to remember—for both the highs and the lows.
