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 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 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.
Multiple sources claim to that Tyga himself did not appear to actually throw any punches at Scott as one insider saw the “Rack City” rapper off to the side by the DJ booth during the argument.
A second source adds that Tyga was just “chill” the entire time.
Video obtained shows Scott and Southside brawling with Edwards onstage while fellow partygoers stare in shock.
However, we’re told security was eventually able to break up the scuffle and everyone continued to party at the the historic French estate Domaine La Dilecta “as if nothing happened.”
We’re told Scott and Southside ran to their cars, while Tyga, Edwards and their pals stayed at the French fête.
“The party went until about 9 a.m., but it was beginning to wind down [during the incident],” a source says.
“The fight went on for a pretty long time before security got in, someone cut the music and finally calmed everything down.”
A separate insider highlights that “no one was seriously hurt in the argument.”
Reps for Scott, Edwards and Tyga did not immediately return ’s request for comment
