Travis Scott released a t-shirt featuring his mugshot
A clever marketing "play" just hours after his arrest
June 21st, 2024
Just hours after his arrest in Miami on Thursday, June 20, Travis Scott released a graphic tee featuring his mugshot. The t-shirt, currently available on the Cactus Jack e-commerce site where the rapper often sells his merchandise, also includes the phrase "It's Miami", which, according to the local police report, was said by Scott after he was handcuffed. If you're interested in purchasing, the item is named "Free the Rage Tee" and is priced at $35 retail. The website also explains that a portion of the proceeds will go to the Cactus Jack Foundation, a non-profit organization aiming to "empower and enrich the lives of youth by providing access to education and creative resources for long-term success." Given Scott's past encounters with the law, the rapper likely didn't fret much about this incident, which may be why he chose to downplay it by releasing a irreverent t-shirt that is poised to resonate with his fan base.
According to public records, the rapper was arrested in Miami-Dade County, Florida, at 4:35 a.m. on charges of trespassing on private property. In an arrest statement reported by PEOPLE magazine, police officers state they saw Scott «yelling at people on the vessel» after authorities were notified of a disturbance on a yacht. "Officers made contact to conduct an investigation," the statement reads. «Officers then asked the defendant to sit down. He sat momentarily, then continued to stand up, disregarding officers' commands. Throughout the interaction, officers on scene detected a strong smell of alcohol coming from the defendant's breath.» Scott's violations didn't end there, as reported by the magazine. The complainant opted not to press charges but requested Scott to leave the vessel. Public records also note that the rapper «walked yelling obscenities at the vessel's occupants.»
