Travis Scott is being investigated for ‘breaking coronavirus regulations’ after being MOBBED by fans when he shared his whereabouts online
Travis Scott is being investigated for potentially breaking coronavirus regulations after he was mobbed by fans when he announced his whereabouts online.
The rapper, 28, caused a stir as he stood in the middle of a Los Angeles street, surrounded by young adults eager to take photos of him on Tuesday.
According to TMZ, city officials have launched a probe into the unregulated event because he did not request a permit to hold the public gathering.

Los Angeles’ department for Public Works reportedly told the publication they are looking into whether the American star broke pandemic regulations.
The outlet revealed that a permit wasn’t issued for the last minute event and the city has been reluctant to offer them in recent months due to the global crisis.
It has been suggested that the department will liaise with the City Attorney’s office to see what action should be taken, including a potential fine.
Travis was recently fined a couple of hundred dollars for a similar event which he hosted in Downey, however the fine was covered by McDonald’s.
MailOnline has contacted Travis’ reps for further comment.
Causing a commotion: Fans hungry to see the rapper rushed into the street
Kylie Jenner’s baby daddy was mobbed by a throng of adoring fans after announcing his whereabouts on social media earlier this week.
Despite all the love being shown to him, security was eventually forced to intervene and distance him from the crowd.
It all started after Travis tweeted on Tuesday afternoon, ‘Imma be posted corner of Fairfax and oakwood on tilt…!!’
Fans heard the call, and headed directly to the neighbourhood in order to meet their idol.
Even with his face mask, sunglasses, and beanie on, Travis was quickly recognized by everyone.
Hungry for a chance to meet the music maker, fans rushed to his side with their phones documenting the whole stunt.
Not even the risk of contracting coronavirus stopped fans from crowding their idol.
Eventually, Travis’ security stepped in, and appeared to pull him away from the throng.
But just because Travis was pulled away didn’t mean the party had to stop.
