Travis Scott and Tyga’s pal Alexander “AE” Edwards were throwing punches at each other at Richie Akiva’s annual “The After” afterparty in Cannes, France, early Friday, nearly injuring a bevy of beauties.
“Models were flying everywhere in the melee,” a source tells Page Six exclusively. “Someone got hit with an ice bucket.”
We’re told the brawl broke out at around 5 a.m. when Scott, 33, and Tyga, 34, happened to be at the DJ booth around the same time.

A separate source tells Page Six that when Akiva took the mic to shoutout Tyga and Edwards, saying, “We got T-Raww and A.E” in the house, the “Sicko Mode” rapper did not like the kind gesture.
We’re told at that point Scott allegedly snatched the mic out of the party host’s hand, prompting Edwards to tell the “Goosebumps” rapper, “Let him show love.”
“Travis was the aggressor,” a source claims. “He and his team were being neurotic, erratic and crazy. He was there looking for a fight with anyone to be honest.”
Although Scott and Tyga have bad blood given that they both dated Kylie Jenner, we’re told the altercation was not about the “Kardashians” star, 26.
“The history is there [but] it’s not like that’s necessarily what was the cause [of this fight],” an insider says before admitting that there is longstanding tension between the two men because of their shared ex.
We’re told Scott became further enraged and allegedly told Tyga’s security, “Y’all [N-word] wanna die?”
A source claims that as Edwards tried to de-escalate the situation, Scott returned with his producer friend Southside for backup.
Southside then allegedly pushed Edwards, prompting him to allegedly drag Scott across the stage, eventually throwing the father of two off of it.
“AE and Tyga’s assistant began to beat up Travis,” an eyewitness further claims.
