AceShowbiz - A night of glitz and glamour took an unexpected turn at acclaimed promoter Richie Akiva's after-party, which was intended to celebrate the stars under the dazzling Cannes sky. However, the event morphed into a scene of chaos when a scuffle broke out involving hip-hop heavyweights and their entourages.
According to online footage, the melee involved Travis Scott and Tyga with Travis backed by 808 Mafia producer Southside and Tyga supported by Cher's boyfriend Alexander "AE" Edwards. The commotion started innocently enough with Richie on the mic, acknowledging the star-studded presence by saying, "We got T-Raww, AE and Travis in the building."
However, it appears that Travis Scott was not pleased being named in the same sentence as Tyga, potentially due to their common history with Kylie Jenner. In a surprising move, Travis snatched the microphone from Richie's hand - a gesture that didn't sit well with AE, who happens to be pals with Tyga. What escalated next was a verbal confrontation followed by physical fight.
Witnesses reveal that Travis stormed offstage, only to return momentarily with Southside, and that's when the situation took a more aggressive turn. Southside and AE engaged in a heated altercation, adding to the overall chaos. Despite the elevated tensions, security intervened effectively, ensuring that no one sustained serious injuries.
In the middle of the fray, Richie could be heard reprimanding the participants, disappointed that violence had disrupted his party. "Stop! Stop! Stop!" he exclaimed. "You want to take that s*** outside, take that sh** outside, but respect me! Mother f******, respect me!" Despite the fight, Tyga, AE, and their entourage continued to enjoy the night, staying well into the early morning hours as if nothing had happened.
Hours before this notorious clash, AE's night had included a PDA-filled red carpet appearance at the amfAR Gala with Cher, ensuring he had quite the story to recount by the end of it all.
The Cannes nightlife was electrified by this unexpected drama, proving once again that the worlds of hip-hop and high society can combust in spectacular fashion when egos and emotions run high.
