Edwards has been treating Cher like a “queen,” she told a fan, noting to another that “everyone in my family has” met him.
The two met duringParis Fashion Weekback in September, she said. He’s an artist on rapperTyga’s independent label Last Kings Records and was last linked to modelAmber Rose, with whom he shares a 3-year-old son,Slash.
That relationship ended in August 2021 after three years together, with Rose appearing toaccuse Edwards of cheating on herwith at least 12 different people (theSlutWalkfounder wrote on her Instagram Story she was “tired of getting cheated on and being embarrassed behind the scenes”).
Helater admitted his infidelity, saying in an Instagram Live that he “got caught” stepping out on Rose. “At the end, I don’t think anybody can be happy or successful if you’re not truly yourself, whether other people understand it or blame you … " he said at the time. “It’s just who I am, and it’s not how [Rose] wants to be loved.”

With that in mind, many of Cher’s fans tweeted her over the weekend, warning the music icon of his past history of cheating. But Cher made it clear she wasn’t going into this with her eyes closed.
“As we all know …I WASN’T BORN YESTERDAY,” Cher wrote to another fan who said they were suspicious of Edwards’s intentions. “What I know for sure, there are no guarantees. Anytime you make a choice, you take a chance. I’ve always taken chances … it’s who I am.”
“I’m not defending us,” she wrote in a follow-up tweet. “Haters are gonna hate … Doesn’t matter that we’re happy and not bothering anyone.”

“The problem I have with all the boyfriends lately is that I don’t want to go any place with them because you can’t keep a relationship going in this kind of goldfish bowl, where everything you do and every picture you have taken will be on Instagram,” she said. “There’s no way to keep something … special.”
