"Travis Scott and Tyga attended Richie Akiva's amfAR afterparty as guests of Richie," an eyewitness claimed to Entertainment Tonight. "At one point in the evening, both artists were on stage, behind the DJ booth, when Richie announced them both on stage alongside Alexander Edwards, and others. Right after that announcement, Travis immediately snatched the mic out of Richie’s hand, and said, 'No, we're not doing this.' Alexander said, 'Let him show love.'" The altercation reportedly took place shortly thereafter and also involved producer Southside.
