Mug shots for merchandise
After posting bail a few hours later, Scott wasted no time in capitalizing on the incident and launching a new line of merchandise featuring photos of his Miami Beach arrest.
The Houston rapper has introduced a limited edition T-shirt featuring a modified version of his mug shot. The dark grey T-shirt, priced at $35, features an edited image of Scott’s mug shot with his iconic smile instead of the original blank expression.
The words “It’s Miami” are printed directly below the image.
According to the arrest affidavit, Scott admitted to drinking alcohol and when police were handcuffing him, he tried to defend himself by saying, “This is Miami.” Officers also noted that “the defendant’s breath smelled strongly of alcohol.”
“Mr. Scott was detained for a period of time due to a misunderstanding,” the rapper’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, said in a statement.
“There was no physical altercation and we thank the officers for working with us to reach a quick and amicable resolution.”
The “Free the Rage #2” shirt featuring Scott’s photo is available for a limited time on his website and will ship within a week. A portion of the proceeds from the T-shirt sales will go to Scott’s charitable organization, the Cactus Jack Foundation.
