ALBAWABA - Photographs of rapper Travis Scott's detention in Paris while wearing a 2004–05 Juventus shirt by Antonio Chimenti shocked Serie A supporters.

The singer, who was in Paris for the 2024 Olympics, was previously associated with Kylie Jenner, so the event itself wasn't particularly significant to the world of Calcio.

The prosecutor's office reported that they apprehended him on Friday morning at the George V hotel for "violence against a security guard."

The images of Scott's arrest and loading into a police car caused a stir in Italy.

He was not only wearing a goalkeeper's jersey from the 2004–05 Juventus season, but when he turned around, Antonio Chimenti's number twelve was visible.

Chimenti, who had made only five appearances that season in all competitions, was their second-choice goalkeeper behind the great Gigi Buffon; thus, this was, to put it mildly, an unexpected pick.

In all, Chimenti played in 34 games for the Old Lady, and he is now 54 years old.

Notably, the Calciopoli incident led to the cancellation and unassignment of the Serie A championship that Juve had won in 2004–05.

Even though he went to an event last month with AC Milan supporter Gerry Cardinale, Travis Scott is a Calcio fan.
