Record executive Alexander “AE” Edwards has broken his silence on the wild brawl he had with Travis Scott and Southside at the Cannes Film Festival.
Edwards, who works at Sony Music Publishing and is currently dating Cher, played down the melee and did not reveal what caused the scene at the party on the French Riviera.

Speaking to TMZ, he said: “It’s all good. Shout out Southside, that’s my n-gga, I know he was just out there defending his boy and doing what he supposed to be doing.
“I ain’t got no hard feelings, it is what it is. It went how it went. I don’t wanna fight. I didn’t initiate that shit. But I’ma protect myself. It’s a healthy fade.”
Edwards also shared some insight into Cher’s reaction to the brawl: “As Future say, ‘Whatever I’m with, my bitch with it too.'”
The fight kicked off at businessman Richie Akiva’s party and involved a melee between Scott and Tyga‘s crews, though the “Rack City” rapper stayed out of the violence.
It has been reported that Edwards instigated the fight by running up on the stage and initiating contact with Scott.

TMZ also claimed that Scott was annoyed at being announced by Akiva in the same breath as Tyga, with both men being exes of Kylie Jenner.
The Utopia rapper apparently snatched the microphone off Akiva, causing Edwards to have words with him.
Edwards and Southside then began going at it on the stage, with punches exchanged before Scott managed to pull AE off the producer.
Scott and Edwards then began throwing hands but somehow nobody was injured.

It was initially thought that Tyga was involved in a fight with Travis Scott, but the former Young Money rapper actually sat the whole brawl out, as did Cher who was also at the party.
Alexander Edwards, who shares a child with Amber Rose, first met Cher in September 2022 at Paris Fashion Week, with their relationship going public shortly afterwards.

The “Believe” legend previously said of their relationship which has a 40-year age gap: “On paper, it’s kind of ridiculous. But in real life, we get along great. He’s fabulous. And I don’t give men qualities that they don’t deserve.”
