Travis Scott made headlines on Thursday as he got arrested in Florida on charges of disorderly intoxication and trespassing on a property despite warning. Taking a funny take on the arrest, the rapper released a t-shirt featuring his mugshot just hours after the arrest.

The 33-year-old rapper, born Jacques Bermon Webster II, is seen smiling from ear to ear in the mugshot, which has since gone viral on social media. The new merchandise, aptly named the "Free the Rage Tee," is available on Scott's official merch site.

The black crew-neck t-shirt prominently displays the rapper's mugshot along with the phrase "It's Miami" in quotes. This phrase, according to the official police report, was something Scott said to officers following his arrest.

Priced at $35, the website notes that a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Cactus Jack Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering youth through education and creative resources.

Scott's arrest occurred at approximately 1:44 a.m. at the Miami Beach Marina, located at 300 Alton Road. Public records reveal that Scott was found "yelling at the vessel occupants" after authorities were alerted to fighting on a yacht.

Officers reported that upon their arrival, Scott was asked to sit down but repeatedly stood back up, disregarding commands. They also noted a strong smell of alcohol on his breath.

Despite the chaotic scene, the complainant did not press charges but requested that Scott leave the vessel. However, Scott returned to the yacht shortly after, continuing to cause a disturbance. This prompted his arrest and subsequent detention at the Miami Beach Police Department.

In an arrest affidavit obtained by PEOPLE, it was documented that Scott "walked backwards yelling obscenities to the occupants of the vessel" during the incident.

Scott's attorney, Bradford Cohen, issued a statement clarifying the situation. "Mr Scott was briefly detained due to a misunderstanding. There was absolutely no physical altercation involved, and we thank the authorities for working with us towards a swift and amicable resolution," the statement read.

The bond for the rapper was set at $650, which was paid by Thursday morning.
