They added that he’d been accused of turning the alleged dispute “into a physical altercation. Travis Scott punched the victim with a closed fist on the left side of the face,” the statement continued. Scott reportedly damaged a speaker and a video screen before fleeing in a car.

Scott’s spokesperson has since issued a statement on behalf of the rapper’s attorney, Mitchell Schuster.

Schuster insisted, “While this is clearly a misunderstanding being blown out of proportion by clickbait and misinformation, we are actively working with the venue and law enforcement to resolve and set the record straight.

“We are confident our client will be cleared of any wrongdoing.”
