Travis Scott, Southside, and Alexander “AE” Edwards were involved in a fight that went down during an event in Cannes, France as Tyga stood by.
In the initial dimly lit video shared by Hollywood Unlocked, several individuals could be seen getting into a scuffle as a DJ played Future in the background. It's hard to make out who was involved in the altercation, but the fight was enough to disrupt the event, which took place adjacent to the Cannes Film Festival. A man resembling Travis appeared to throw punches at another person in the footage.
In a clearer video shared with Complex (below), it appears there was a scuffle between Scott, AE, producer Southside, and several others. This clip does not show Tyga getting directly involved in the fight, but Edwards did attend the Cannes Gala alongside the rapper that same day.
TMZ reports the fight happened at an event hosted by Richie Akiva. According to those who were in attendance, Travis Scott got aggressive after Akiva shouted out Tyga, AE, and La Flame. It got physical after Southside and AE started pushing each other, with Travis getting involved not long after, but no one was seriously hurt.
A source told Page Six the incident happened at about 5 a.m. "Models were flying everywhere in the melee. Someone got hit with an ice bucket," the insider said. Another anonymous eyewitness told the outlet, “Travis was the aggressor. He and his team were being neurotic, erratic and crazy. He was there looking for a fight with anyone to be honest.”
Neither of the rappers has commented on the altercation.
It's unclear what started the conflict, but it's worth pointing out that Tyga and Travis Scott both dated Kylie Jenner. Tyga was romantically linked to Jenner from 2014 to 2017, at which point she started dating Scott. She and Trav welcomed their first daughter in 2018 and a son in 2022. By early 2023, they were no longer an item.
Jenner has since entered a romantic relationship with Timothée Chalamet. Following the release of Utopia, fans theorized that Scott took shots at the Dune and Wonka star on "Meltdown."
