They’re already renowned for their wild energy, but this year’s Cannes afterparties took it a step further when Travis Scott and Tyga reportedly got down in a brawl. Those surely going to enter the annals of Cannes folklore—let us unpack the events leading up to this fateful night on the French Riviera.
Story opens with both rapping and grooving behind the scenes at the DJ booth. The hype man, Richie, throws out some love to both artists, mentioning them in the same breath. This little shout-out obviously rubbed Travis the wrong way. Some speculate it may have something to do with having dated Kylie Jenner, who is Tyga’s ex. Feeling disrespected, Travis snatched the mic from Richie, sparking a confrontation with Tyga’s best friend, AE Edwards.
Things escalated quickly as Travis stormed off, only to return with his producer, Southside, ready for action.
The first to get physical with each other were Southside and AE, who started shoving one another. But AE was able to get some uppercuts in there, putting Southside on defense. Travis pulled AE off Southside, and nearly fell offstage in the process. And that wasn’t even the end of the madness. Travis and AE began grappling across the stage, reports even hinting that Travis might have been the first aggressor.

News, as always, travels quickly online, but accuracy sometimes gets thrown under the bus in favor of speed. Social media exploded with accusations of Travis Scott fighting with Tyga. True, there was most definitely a fight; however, a few reports of a one-sided beatdown seem overly exaggerated. Supposedly, Tyga, however, reportedly did not punch or hit Travis.
It all seemed heated between Travis, Southside, AE, and Tyga’s assistant. Travis was said to have taken some blows after initiating the whole thing. The fight could have ended there, but the questions linger. What was the exact trigger of Travis’ reaction? Was it misplaced pride or what caused Travis Scott’s outburst had something to do with Kylie Jenner whom they both have a history with? Travis Scott and Tyga have not talked in public, and fans are left to their guessing games.
