AE Edwards remains unapologetic after altercation with Travis Scott.

In her first public comment on the altercation, Cher expressed her pride in how her boyfriend, Alexander «AE» Edwards, handled the situation with rapper Travis Scott. «I'm Proud of Alexander,» Cher, 78, wrote via X on Saturday, June 1. «He Didn't Start The fight Against 2 Men, He finished it, Gotta Love Him.»

The incident occurred at a Cannes Film Festival afterparty on Friday, May 24, where Edwards got into a physical altercation with Scott, 33, and another rapper, Southside. According to a source, the fight began after Scott allegedly dissed Tyga. Nightclub tycoon Richie Akiva's shoutout to Tyga seemed to trigger Scott, who grabbed the mic from Akiva, leading Edwards to intervene.

"AE started talking back to Travis. There was a big group of all their friends on stage as well. Travis walked off the stage and came back with Southside, who started yelling at AE," an eyewitness told Us Weekly. "Travis tried to push AE off the stage, and then all three were shoving each other. AE got a hold of Travis and threw him off the stage."



Security intervened, ending the altercation without any injuries. Edwards later spoke to TMZ on Wednesday, May 29, saying, «It's all good. I don't want to fight. I don't want to initiate that s�t. I'm gonna protect myself and my people.»

Cher and AE have been a couple since September 2023, when they were first seen together during Paris Fashion Week. They briefly split earlier in 2023 but reunited and are reportedly "closer than ever." Edwards, addressing their relationship to TMZ, said, «We're a happy family.» He added a lyric from Future's song "GTA": «Whatever I'm with, my b�h with it too,» later editing it to refer to Cher as «my woman.»
