Travis Scott was out of control in New York City this week. We previously reported that the “SICKO MODE” rapper faces potential charges following an alleged altercation with a sound engineer earlier this week. The man, who identified as only Mark, said the rapper punched him in the face, leaving him hospitalized. Though he didn’t confirm whether or not he would press charges, Scott’s team reportedly arranged for his return to NYC next week to speak to detectives.
The rapper allegedly fled the club to take a private jet to California after things went sour during the show. Mark said that the rapper attacked him after asking to turn the volume down since a distorted sound came out of the speakers. However, the rapper allegedly lost his cool and assaulted the engineer before destroying $12K worth of equipment in the venue. However, it wasn’t just equipment that he destructed during his alleged rampage at Nebula in Manhattan.
Travis Scott Faces Potential Lawsuit
Mark wasn’t the only victim who faced Scott’s wrath in New York City. Moments before the alleged attack, Travis apparently got into it with a fan who tried to film him behind the DJ booth. A new video emerged showing the individual getting a close-up of Scott who looks up and proceeds to reach for the phone. The video gets blurry afterward but the phone owner told TMZ that the rapper tossed the phone, which hit his head and cracked the screen.
This is turning out to be another avoidable headache for Scott following the alleged assault on the sound guy. Unlike Mark, the phone owner said that he lawyered up with plans to file criminal charges and a civil lawsuit. The individual said that the owners of Nebula tried to offer his table free liquor for the incident but he ultimately refused. It seems as though Scott might end uphaving to answer for this upon his return to New York City following his headlining performance at Rolling Loud California this weekend. We’ll keep you posted on any more updates surrounding the situation. You could watch the footage of Scott’s phone toss above.
