'Take That S--- Outside!' Travis Scott, Tyga and Cher's BF Alexander 'AE' Edwards Involved in Wild Brawl at Cannes After-Party
Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt and security managed to break it up, according to reports.
All hell broke loose at a star-studded Cannes after-party event when an altercation involving rap artists Travis Scott, Tyga, Alexander "AE" Edwards, and 808 Mafia producer Southside erupted, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Sources familiar with the situation said drama kicked off when Travis and Tyga were on stage behind the DJ booth, at which point promoter Richie Akiva took the microphone and told attendees something along the lines of, "We got T-Raww, AE and Travis in the building."
Last year, California's Franchise Tax Board hit the rapper with a tax lien alleging that he owed over $100,000 in back taxes for 2021.
Travis allegedly then grabbed the microphone and tossed it on the floor for an unbeknownst reason, which led AE to make a remark toward Travis, according to TMZ.
Sources told RadarOnline.com that AE said "let him show love" while trying to deescalate the situation.
AE and Tyga are known to be close and it was alleged that Travis threatened Tyga's security before storming offstage and returning with Southside, which fueled the tension.
Southside and AE were seen pushing each other, and AE seemingly landed some punches before Travis pulled AE away from Southside, and nearly fell offstage as a result.
AE was seen holding Travis by his collar mid-scuffle, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Some thought Travis and Tyga were fighting, but insiders said it was actually AE and Tyga's assistants pummeling Travis. We're told Tyga was behind the DJ booth the entire time.
Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt and security managed to break it up, sources said.
In the video footage, Richie was also heard condemning the fighting at the event. "Stop! Stop! Stop!" he declared.
"You want to take that s--- outside, take that sh-- outside, but respect me!" Richie added. "Mother f------, respect me!"
