In an unexpected turn of events, renowned American rapper Travis Scott was arrested in Paris wearing a vintage Juventus jersey. The arrest occurred at the Hotel Georges V following an altercation involving Scott and his bodyguard. The incident took place early in the morning, prompting police intervention.
Scott, who had been in Paris attending basketball matches at the Bercy Arena, shared his activities on Instagram, including a night out at a Parisian nightclub. The evening ended with his arrest, drawing attention not only for the circumstances but also for his choice of attire—a Juventus jersey from the 2004/2005 season, originally belonging to goalkeeper Antonio Chimenti.
This detail quickly caught the eye of both Scott’s fans and Juventus supporters, sparking a flurry of reactions on social media. Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Scott has shown his affinity for the Italian football club. In a previous appearance at an afterparty in Zurich, he wore a Kappa Juventus sweatshirt, reminiscent of the club’s successful era under coach Marcello Lippi in the 1990s.
