Travis Scott is facing a lawsuit claiming he attacked and threatened the crew of a chartered yacht in Miami two years ago.
Scott was arrested for disorderly intoxication and trespassing at Miami Beach Marina in June 2024, but no criminal charges were pressed. But now, boat captain Adrian Frometa and charter managers John Steve Holguin and Mirnesa Hasanovic are pursuing civil assault claims against the rapper (born Jacques Webster).

The lawsuit, filed on Saturday (July 11) 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. 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 due to this behavior, but Scott allegedly refused to disembark 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,” reads the lawsuit. “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 allegedly called in his bosses, Hasanovic and Holguin, for backup, and they arrived 10 minutes later. A further scuffle ensued, 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 the glass door while Holguin and Hasanovic physically held it shut from inside the vessel.”
The situation de-escalated when law enforcement arrived on the scene and ultimately arrested Scott. The rapper later posted his mug shot on social media and sold merch with the photo — a move that, according to Frometa, Hasanovic and Holguin, “made light of the incident and the harm caused.”
The group alleges they suffered both physical and emotional injuries from the incident. They’re seeking unspecified financial damages from Scott for claims of assault, battery, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
A rep for Scott did not immediately return a request for comment on the lawsuit on Tuesday (July 14).
