Travis Scott is facing a civil lawsuit claiming he attacked and threatened the crew of a chartered yacht in Miami two years ago.
The lawsuit, filed Saturday and obtained by Billboard, says Scott rented a 105-foot yacht called Carpe Diem to cruise around Miami's coast with three female guests on June 19, 2024. Boat captain Adrian Frometa, at first the sole crew member on board, claims Scott became intoxicated and aggressive as the evening wore on. Frometa decided to end the charter early, but Scott allegedly refused to leave when they returned to the marina.
"Without any warning, Scott pushed Frometa from behind and then struck him with a closed fist to his neck and upper chest," the lawsuit reads. "Scott then began screaming at Frometa. Scott repeatedly threatened Frometa, including by stating that Frometa was 'dead' and that Scott was 'going to kill' him."
Frometa called in his supervisors, charter managers Mirnesa Hasanovic and John Steve Holguin, who arrived about ten minutes later. A further confrontation followed, during which Holguin says he was knocked to the ground. According to the suit, Hasanovic and Holguin then barricaded themselves inside the boat's interior while Scott screamed they were dead and attempted to force open a glass door while the two held it shut from inside.
Law enforcement eventually arrived and arrested Scott. He was charged with disorderly intoxication and trespassing at Miami Beach Marina, but no criminal charges were ultimately pressed.
Scott, born Jacques Webster, later posted his mug shot on social media and sold merchandise featuring the photo. According to the three plaintiffs, that move "made light of the incident and the harm caused."
The group alleges they suffered both physical and emotional injuries. They are seeking unspecified financial damages from Scott for claims of assault, battery, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
A representative for Scott declined to comment on the lawsuit on Tuesday.
