A source revealed to CNN that there was no physical altercation, but Scott was told to leave. However, he returned soon after and ignored officers’ commands not to go to the marina. He then “began yelling once again, becoming erratic disturbing the peace,” which led to his arrest.

“The defendant later admitted that he had been drinking alcohol and stated, ‘It’s Miami,’” according to the affidavit.

Scott broke his silence weeks later in an interview with radio host Charlamagne tha God.

“It really hurts,” Scott said, according to Rap-Up. “It hurts the community; it hurts the city [Houston]. It’s just been a lot of thoughts, a lot feelings, a lot of grieving, and trying to wrap my head around it.”

Scott said he was unaware that festivalgoers had been hurt until he had come off the stage.
