In her first public comments about the incident, Cher said that she is “proud” of how her boyfriend Alexander “AE” Edwards handled his fight 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.”
On Friday, May 24, Edwards was involved in a physical altercation with Scott, 33, and another rapper, Southside, while attending a Cannes Film Festival afterparty. A source exclusively told Us Weekly at the time that the fight broke out between the 38-year-old music executive and Scott after the rapper allegedly dissed Tyga at the event.
Per the eyewitness, the trouble began when nightclub tycoon Richie Akiva gave Tyga, 34, a shoutout onstage at the afterparty. Scott then “grabbed the mic” out of Akiva’s hand to stop it, which caused Edwards to step in.

AE got a hold of Travis and threw him off the stage.”

As for Cher and Edwards, the couple has been going strong since they were spotted out and about together in September 2023 during Paris Fashion Week.
