Well, my dear readers, when the Lakers met their hometown neighbors for a blockbuster game at the Intuit Dome, Travis Scott was on the unexpected end of a rather convoluted security situation. The SICKO MODE artist had come to see this game with Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin and his daughter Kylie Rubin, but sometime during the game’s play, he was briefly arrested after supposedly trespassing on private property.

When he was leaving the stadium, security personnel — failing to recognize the rapper — swiftly moved in and stopped him. In the viral video circulating on social media, the two-person security guard can be seen grabbing the back of Scott’s brown coat in an attempt to prevent him from crossing the court. The rapper resisted for a while before releasing his grip as additional venue staff members joined in to clarify the misunderstanding.
Despite that sudden confrontation, Travis Scott was able to keep his cool. It has a brown coat, a chain, and a green shirt: his attire did not provoke any aggressive reaction but rather calmed the matter while such confusion was cleared up with a handshake between Scott and someone near the tunnel.
Social Media Reaction
Videos from others on social media quickly spread the news about the event. It brought comments from fans and bystanders who seemed both shocked and somewhat amused by how a high-profile celebrity could fall prey to the unrecognizing justice of security. Many only needed to ask about how in the world an artist as great as Scott could be mistaken for a trespasser at a big steeple event.
Official Response
So far, the Clippers or anyone at Intuit Dome has not commented on the incident in question. Scott, one of the quietest artists offstage, has also refrained from laying any comment on the incident.
Even though the situation may have created a small amount of confusion and tension, Scott’s very calm response and very quick entry by staff quickly ensured that the night would be smooth sailing henceforth.
