Cher finally spoke out after her boyfriend Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards was involved in a brawl between Travis Scott and Tyga — both former boyfriends of Kylie Jenner — in Cannes, France last week.
The iconic singer, 78, took to her social media on Saturday to weigh in after AE, 38, commented on the incident by saying all is good between the two camps.
‘I’m proud of Alexander,’ she wrote. ‘He didn’t start the fight against 2 men,… He finished it, Gotta love him.’
AE reportedly got into a physical altercation with the two rappers while they all attended the same party after the 2024 amfAR Cannes Gala.
Cher’s reaction comes after the music executive spoke with TMZ on Monday and played coy at first as he did not address the incident directly while being questioned by a cameraman.

Edwards said that nothing happened and that there are no issues between the two entourages.

He also gave a shoutout to record producer Southside who was on the opposite side of the brawl as he said he understands that he needed to protect his friend in Scott.
Edwards maintained his stance as he said: ‘I don’t want to fight. I don’t want to initiate that s***. I don’t even… Get money, livin’ they dreams. I’m about that but I’m gonna protect myself and my people.
‘So that’s it. It is what it is. It’s over.’
He said there haven’t been any conversations with Travis’ side and he has no message for their camp as he said: ‘They got the message.’
Toward the end of the conversation, Edwards was asked what his older girlfriend thought of the incident.
Edwards replied with a quote from rapper Future’s song GTA as he said: ‘Whatever I’m with, my b**** with it too.’
He then clarified he would rather say ‘my woman’ but had to reference Future’s actual words.
