Travis Scott and Tyga's entourages made quite an impact at Cannes, sparking a full-blown melee at an after-party that left a few attendees needing ice packs.
TMZ Hip Hop obtained exclusive video footage from multiple angles of the altercation, which also involved Cher's boyfriend Alexander "AE" Edwards and 808 Mafia producer Southside. The incident took place at an event hosted by acclaimed promoter Richie Akiva.

Sources familiar with the situation report that the trouble began when both Travis and Tyga were on stage behind the DJ booth. Richie Akiva grabbed the mic and gave props to both rappers, saying something along the lines of, “We got T-Raww, AE, and Travis in the building.”
Travis seemed visibly upset about being mentioned alongside Tyga, possibly due to their shared history with Kylie Jenner. In response, he snatched the mic from Richie’s hand, which prompted AE to confront him. For context, AE and Tyga are close friends.
Travis then approached Tyga’s security with threats and stormed offstage, only to return moments later with Southside. A physical confrontation broke out between Southside and AE, initially involving some pushing before AE landed several uppercuts. Travis intervened by pulling AE off Southside, nearly falling off the stage in the process. The scuffle then continued between AE and Travis.

As news of the fight spread on social media, many people incorrectly described it as Travis Scott beating up Tyga. Despite the chaos, no one from either party was seriously injured, and security managed to break up the fight. Travis and Southside then returned to their cars, while Richie could be heard scolding everyone for bringing violence to his party.
Interestingly, Tyga, AE, and their crew stayed until early morning as if nothing had happened. Earlier in the evening, AE had been seen enjoying a make-out session with Cher at the amfAR Gala red carpet, giving him quite a story to share back at the hotel.
