Cher reacts to boytoy ‘AE’ Edwards’ fight with Travis Scott and Tyga

Cher finally spoke out after her boyfriend Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards was involved in a brawl between Travis Scott and Tyga — both former boyfriends of Kylie Jenner — in Cannes, France last week.

The iconic singer, 78, took to her social media on Saturday to weigh in after AE, 38, commented on the incident by saying all is good between the two camps.

‘I’m proud of Alexander,’ she wrote. ‘He didn’t start the fight against 2 men,… He finished it, Gotta love him.’ 

AE reportedly got into a physical altercation with the two rappers while they all attended the same party after the 2024 amfAR Cannes Gala.

Cher’s reaction comes after the music executive spoke with TMZ on Monday and played coy at first as he did not address the incident directly while being questioned by a cameraman.

Edwards said that nothing happened and that there are no issues between the two entourages.

The cameraman then asks if it is all resolved to which he replied: ‘It’s all good.’ 

He also gave a shoutout to record producer Southside who was on the opposite side of the brawl as he said he understands that he needed to protect his friend in Scott.

Edwards maintained his stance as he said: ‘I don’t want to fight. I don’t want to initiate that s***. I don’t even… Get money, livin’ they dreams. I’m about that but I’m gonna protect myself and my people.

‘So that’s it. It is what it is. It’s over.’

He said there haven’t been any conversations with Travis’ side and he has no message for their camp as he said: ‘They got the message.’

Toward the end of the conversation, Edwards was asked what his older girlfriend thought of the incident.

Edwards replied with a quote from rapper Future’s song GTA as he said: ‘Whatever I’m with, my b**** with it too.’

He then clarified he would rather say ‘my woman’ but had to reference Future’s actual words. 

He also played coy on the possibility of marrying the Believe artist four decades his junior as he said: ‘We happy. We’re a happy family.’

This comes as Edwards, Tyga, and Travis were reportedly involved in a brawl in Cannes, France, around 5 a.m. on Friday.

The brawl reportedly began after Travis Scott and Tyga’s good friend, Edwards began taking swings at each other at Richie Akiva’s ‘The After,’ an annual party he throws during the iconic French film festival that was held at the Domaine La Dilecta estate.

The fight took place shortly after Travis and Tyga were awkwardly introduced together on stage, according to TMZ.

Sources told Page Six that the fight appeared to kick off when Scott snatched a microphone out of Akiva’s hand after he announced Tyga and Edwards by saying, ‘We got T-Raww and A.E.’ on stage.

Travis Scott’s reps declined to comment. DailyMail.com has also reached out to Tyga and Edwards for comment.

According to TMZ, the 808 Mafia producer Southside also stepped into the onstage brawl.

Sources said the hostilities began after Travis and Tyga were both behind the DJ booth.

After Akiva introduced Tyga and Edward, he also reportedly shouted out Travis, which seems to have rubbed the Sicko Mode rapper the wrong way.

Travis is said to have taken the microphone from Akiva, prompting Edwards, who was chumming up with Tyga earlier in the evening, to say something to him.

A source told Page Six that Edwards told Scott to ‘Let him show love.’

The Goosebumps rapper than reportedly began approaching Tyga’s security and shouting threats and insults.

‘Y’all [N-word] wanna die?’ he shouted, according to Page Six.

‘Travis was the aggressor,’ a source alleged. ‘He and his team were being neurotic, erratic and crazy. He was there looking for a fight with anyone to be honest.’

He was seen leaving the stage in a huff, only to allegedly return with Southside by his side. 

TMZ’s sources say Southside and Edwards began shoving each other, before Edwards landed multiple punches.

Grainy video of the brawl appears to show Travis pulling Edwards off Southside, and sources added that Kylie’s ex appeared to nearly fall off the stage in the process.

A source claimed to Page Six that the Astroworld rapper did fall off the stage after being dragged by Edwards. 

Travis and Tyga reportedly have simmering tensions due to their past histories with Kylie, but an insider told Page Six that the Kardashians star was not the spark that set off the violence.

‘The history is there [but] it’s not like that’s necessarily what was the cause [of this fight],’ they claimed.

Tyga first dated Kylie on and off for two years, beginning when she was just 17, which earned widespread criticism from fans. 

Kylie and Travis began an on–off relationship in 2017 that led them to welcome two children: Stormi, six, and Aire, two. They split, seemingly for good, in January 2023 

Although social media accounts that initially shared videos of the fight described it as a brawl between Travis and Tyga, sources for both publications claimed that Tyga was not directly involved.

He reportedly stayed put by the DJ booth, and a source for Page Six claimed he looked ‘chill’ despite the fighting on stage. 

Instead, his and Edwards’ assistants were involved in the fight with Scott.

Luckily, there were reportedly no serious injuries, and security guards were able to separate the parties quickly. 

Akiva jumped in on the microphone after the music cut out, and he urged the brawlers to ‘respect’ him after interrupting his party. 

A source added that the partygoers got back to dancing ‘as if nothing happened’ once the alleged combatants were cleared away.

However, a few models reportedly were swept up in the chaos.

‘Models were flying everywhere in the melee,’ a witness claimed to Page Six, adding that ‘Someone got hit with an ice bucket.’

Scott and Southside reportedly rushed to their cars to leave after the fight was broken up, though the party continued until around 9 a.m.
