Update #1 (May 24, 2024): New details have surfaced surrounding the explosive physical altercation that recently took place in Cannes, France.
Earlier today (May 24) video footage surfaced that the public believed showed Travis Scott and Tyga having a crazy brawl during a night out overseas. As the video made its rounds online, whispers quickly grew that the men were fighting over someone they’d both once dated, Kylie Jenner.
While there may be some truth to the dispute having something to do with the socialite, Tyga apparently wasn’t the one throwing blows with Travis in the recording.
According to a report from TMZ, things kicked off after nightclub tycoon Richie Akiva said something on the mic along the lines of “We got T-Raww, AE, and Travis in the building,” to note both rappers (and Alexander “AE” Edwards) were in attendance. Allegedly, Travis had an issue with being lumped together with someone else the mother of his two children was once romantic with and proceeded to snatch the mic from Richie’s hand.
Reportedly, that’s when AE — Tyga’s good friend — got involved and had words with Travis. It’s said that the “My Eyes” artist threatened Tyga’s security before allegedly leaving the area and returning with Southside. Things only got more heated from there, as the report said AE and Southside became physical, and Travis soon jumped in to pull AE off his friend. It’s also noted that before things ended, AE exchanged hits with Travis as well.
None of the men reportedly involved have spoken about the incident, but Tyga recently shared a video seemingly unbothered (and untouched) on a boat.

The reason behind the fight is unknown at the moment, however, rumors are already swirling that it has something to do with their common denominator; Kylie Jenner. In case you need a refresher, Kylie Jenner dated Tyga for years, reportedly starting their relationship in 2014 when the reality TV star was 17 and the “Taste” rapper was 24. They ended things for good sometime in 2017 and Kylie Jenner moved on to Travis Scott, eventually welcoming two kids together before they called things off in January 2023.
