Rapper Travis Scott was busted in Miami on allegations of trespassing and disorderly conduct, jail records indicate.

The Thursday morning arrest of Scott, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster, 33, came after he was allegedly "yelling obscenities" at someone on a yacht in Miami Beach, ABC News, CNN and WTVJ-TV reported, citing the police report.

Responding officers alleged they could "sense a strong smell of alcohol" on Scott's breath.

The person whose Scott's yells were directed at said they wanted the musician removed from the boat.

Officers ordered the "SICKO MODE" artist to leave the marina. He allegedly returned five minutes later and attempted to go back to the vessel. Officers prevented him from returning to the yacht and Scott allegedly became "erratic," leading to his arrest, said police, according to ABC.

Upon his detainment, Scott allegedly admitted he had been drinking and told cops, "it's Miami."

Scott pleaded not guilty to the charges and bonded out of jail hours later.

Shortly after his release, he posted an edited mugshot on his Instagram story, mocking his arrest.

Scott made headlines in 2021 when 10 people died at his Astroworld Festival in Houston. He settled the last wrongful death lawsuit, last month.
