Bodycam footage shows rapper Travis Scott say he’s ‘scared’ of large police presence during Miami Beach trespassing arrest

Rapper Travis Scott told police officers he was “scared” by their large presence during his trespassing arrest in Miami, Fla., in June, newly-released bodycam footage showed.
The “Sicko Mode” hitmaker, 33, was handcuffed after officers responded to a report of people fighting on a yacht at the Miami Beach Marina shortly before 1 a.m. on June 20, and found Scott standing by the dock and yelling at the occupants of one of the boats.
Scott, whose real name is Jacques Webster, was then taken into custody in connection with misdemeanor trespassing and public intoxication.
In new bodycam footage obtained by NBC South Florida , the Houston native can be seen getting loud during his exchange with officers at the docks before ultimately being arrested.
“Everybody put their hands up!” cops yelled as they arrived at the marina.
After Scott and his entourage exited the boat, officers began to probe them on what had happened aboard the yacht.
While at the dock, the “3500” rapper said he had spent $20,000 to rent the boat but was kicked out by its captain because he had stayed past the agreed-upon time.
“The captain, I told him it was disrespectful to kick the door open while I’m in the room,” Scott told the officers.
Scott alleged that he was “in a room with his friend” when the door was kicked in.
Cops later spoke to the boat’s captain, who claimed that Scott — who shares two children with ex-Kylie Jenner — was in a bedroom with a woman when he was repeatedly asked to leave.
The captain added that the rapper had pushed him “many times,” and that he had no interest in pressing charges, but rather just wanted him to exit the vessel.
As Scott and his entourage were escorted back to his car by the cops, who appeared to be willing to let him go without any charges, Scott began raising his voice and threatened to “catch a fade” — a slang term for fighting.
“He going to catch a fade if he gets in the car with me,” the 10-time Grammy nominee said, before starting to yell at the people on the boat.
As the cops proceeded to walk the musician and his team away from the marina, Scott told them that he was “scared” over the large police presence.
