Travis Scott is facing a lawsuit claiming he attacked and threatened the crew of a chartered yacht in Miami two years ago.
Although Scott was arrested for disorderly intoxication and trespassing at Miami Beach Marina in June 2024, no criminal charges were pressed at the time.
But now, boat captain Adrian Frometa and charter managers John Steve Holguin and Mirnesa Hasanovic are pursuing civil assault claims against the rapper.
The lawsuit, obtained by Billboard, claims Scott rented the 105-foot yacht Carpe Diem to cruise around Miami's coast with three female guests on 19 June 2024.
Frometa, at first the sole crew member on board, claims Scott became intoxicated and aggressive as the evening wore on. The captain decided to end the charter early, but Scott allegedly refused to disembark at the marina.
"Without any warning, Scott pushed Frometa from behind and then struck him with a closed fist to his neck and upper chest," reads the lawsuit. "Scott repeatedly threatened Frometa, including by stating that Frometa was 'dead' and that Scott was 'going to kill' him."
Frometa called in Hasanovic and Holguin for backup, and a further scuffle ensued, during which Holguin says he was knocked to the ground. Hasanovic and Holguin barricaded themselves inside the boat while Scott "screamed they were 'dead'", and attempted to force open a glass door while the yachties held it shut from the inside.
Law enforcement arrived on the scene and arrested Scott.
The Sicko Mode rapper later sold merchandise featuring his mug shot from the incident, a move that, according to Frometa, Hasanovic and Holguin, "made light of the incident and the harm caused".
The group are seeking unspecified financial damages for claims of assault, battery, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
