Travis Scott has been released from custody with no charges after a fight with a hotel security guard.
“Travis Scott has been released with no charges," a rep for the "My Eyes" rapper wrote in an emailed statement to USA TODAY on Saturday morning. Paris police officials confirmed the news in a separate email to USA TODAY.
In a translation of the email, Paris officials say the case has "been closed" and Scott's custody ended Saturday.
The "Sicko Mode" rapper was first taken into custody early Friday for allegedly attacking a security guard at Paris' luxury Georges V hotel after the security guard tried to break up the fight between Scott and his bodyguard, French prosecutors confirmed to USA TODAY Friday.

'Unspecified violence'
Scott, 33, was arrested for "unspecified violence," the prosecutor's office said, adding it has opened an investigation.
"We are in direct communication with the local Parisian authorities to swiftly resolve this matter," a rep for Scott said in an emailed statement to USA TODAY Friday.
On Thursday, the "Goosebumps" rapper was in the stands with Migos alum and "Greatness" hitmaker Quavo watching the Olympics men's basketball semifinal game between Team USA and Team Serbia.
Recent troubles for Travis Scott
The Paris incident marks the Houston native's second reported arrest in recent months. In June, he was arrested in Miami following an alleged incident at a marina. The rapper was booked at a Miami-Dade County correctional center on charges of trespassing and disorderly intoxication, online records showed.
Officers responded to a disturbance on one of the yachts, where people were fighting on the vessel, according to the arrest affidavit. Authorities said they observed Scott standing by the dock and yelling at the people onboard. When officers made contact with the rapper, he "began continuously standing back up," disregarding commands to sit down, and his breath smelled strongly of alcohol, according to police.
