In case you forgot, Alexander is more notable for currently dating Cher.

So, yesterday, a video started circulating of Travis getting into a fight during an event at the famous film festival, presumably involving Tyga. The footage wasn't uh-may-zing, but you could tell that something was going down.

If you've been online since, you've probably seen a fair amount of speculation that the fight was specifically between Travis and Tyga — and that it possibly had something to do with the fact that both have previously been in relationships with Kylie Jenner.

"Travis Scott and Tyga attended Richie Akiva's amfAR afterparty as guests of Richie," an eyewitness claims. "At one point in the evening, both artists were on stage, behind the DJ booth, when Richie announced them both on stage alongside Alexander Edwards, and others."

"Right after that announcement, Travis immediately snatched the mic out of Richie’s hand, and said, 'No, we're not doing this.' Alexander said, 'Let him show love.'"

The eyewitness also claims that, after leaving the stage for a bit, Travis allegedly confronted Alexander alongside producer Southside, which led to the reported physical altercation.

The source also claims that Tyga actually didn't have anything to do with the altercation at all — but, his assistant allegedly got involved.

And Travis apparently remained at the party for a while after taking a break from the action following the altercation — so, it sounds like things de-escalated pretty quick.
