In a dramatic return to social media, Cher has stepped up to defend her partner, Alexander “A.E.” Edwards, after his altercation with Travis Scott at a star-studded Cannes after-party. The legendary pop icon, 78, took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to voice her support for A.E., 37, stating, “I’m Proud of Alexander. He Didn’t Start The fight Against 2 Men,… He finished it, Gotta Love Him.”
The incident, which occurred at Richie Akiva’s exclusive party, has been the talk of the town. According to TMZ, the brawl involved Travis Scott and rapper Southside, and was reportedly sparked when Scott made a disparaging comment about Tyga, a close friend of A.E. Without hesitation, A.E. jumped in to defend Tyga, leading to the physical confrontation.
Despite the heated exchange, it seems there are no lasting hard feelings among the involved parties. A.E. was spotted with a smile on Wednesday, telling TMZ, “It’s all good. I don’t want to fight. I don’t want to initiate that sh*t. I’m gonna protect myself and my people.” His loyalty to Tyga and his readiness to stand up for his friends has clearly earned Cher’s admiration.
In a candid moment, A.E. emphasized Cher’s unwavering support, quoting Future’s song “GTA”: “Whatever I’m with, my bitch with it, too.” Quickly realizing the potential offense to Cher and her legion of fans, A.E. corrected himself, referring to Cher as “my woman.”
While the altercation in Cannes has kept the couple in the headlines, Cher has also been making waves in the courtroom. On Thursday, the ageless diva celebrated a significant legal victory. A California judge ruled in her favor in a copyright lawsuit against the widow of her late ex-husband, Sonny Bono. According to People magazine, Cher sued in 2021 over unpaid royalties from her time as part of the iconic duo Sonny & Cher. The court awarded her over $418,000 in back payments, solidifying her financial stake in their musical legacy.
For Cher, the past week has been a whirlwind of high-profile incidents and legal triumphs. Her return to X not only highlights her fierce loyalty and protective nature but also underscores her enduring influence and resilience in both her personal and professional life. As she continues to stand by A.E. and secure her legacy, Cher proves once again why she remains a beloved and unstoppable force in pop culture.
