Israeli model Shay Zanco was accompanying rapper Travis Scott when she was booted from the hotel.

Shay Zanco is arguably one of Israel's most successful models, but having worked with Vogue and Victoria's Secret did not endear her to people during her stay in Egypt.

Walla! Celebs learned that Zanco was invited by rapper Travis Scott and his team to accompany him to a concert in Egypt.

The performance itself was canceled, but Zanco, who had already arrived, decided that if she was already there, she would visit tourist sites and make the most of her stay. However, within about a day of her arrival, her hotel discovered that she was Israeli, and when there was a moment when she was not accompanied by Travis Scott's staff, she was asked to leave the hotel immediately.

She was promptly escorted out of her hotel.

What happened there?

"I was very stressed and felt really humiliated," Zanco said. "In the four years I've been [in the spotlight], I've never felt antisemitism or faced any problems because I'm Jewish and Israeli. This time it was something different. I left the hotel straight to the airport and caught the only flight there was to Paris, even though I had a photo shoot in Barcelona."
