Travis Scott and NBA guard Jordan Clarkson were removed from a private New York City club after a confrontation reportedly escalated into bottles being thrown.
The incident unfolded Saturday night, July 18, at Zero Bond during a celebrity-filled event organized by Raising Cane’s.
Reports from TMZ and Page Six agree that the disturbance began after Scott believed another attendee was recording him.
TMZ reported that Clarkson attempted to de-escalate the confrontation rather than joining it. Both men were ultimately removed, although the two outlets published conflicting accounts of whether police officers or private security handled the situation.
Scott Reportedly Confronted a Guest Who Was Filming
Scott was talking with another attendee inside the members-only NoHo club when he noticed a man apparently recording him, according to unnamed sources cited by both outlets. The rapper approached the guest, and the interaction quickly became heated.
TMZ reported that members of Scott’s entourage then began throwing bottles. Page Six was less specific, saying bottles flew but that its sources could not establish whether Scott personally threw anything or whether others in his group were responsible. “It all happened really fast,” a source told Page Six. “It started fast and broke up really quickly.”
Clarkson Reportedly Tried to Defuse the Situation

TMZ said Clarkson stepped into the dispute in an attempt to calm those involved. Photographs published by TMZ show Clarkson outside Zero Bond surrounded by security personnel and uniformed officers after leaving the club.
The outlet described Clarkson as being escorted out by police and said it had contacted the New York Police Department for clarification. Page Six reported that Zero Bond security intervened and that neither police nor paramedics became involved.
50 Cent’s Performance Continued After the Incident
The party was a private Raising Cane’s buyout rather than a regular evening operated by Zero Bond, Page Six reported. The club supplied the location, but the restaurant chain was responsible for the event.
TMZ identified Tate McRae, Alix Earle, Jake Paul and Logan Paul among the celebrity guests. 50 Cent performed for the crowd, and Page Six reported that his show continued after security brought the confrontation to an end.
