Reports say that Drake instigated the club fight between his crew and Chris Brown’s entourage. According to TMZ.com, on Wednesday night (June 13th), Chris and Drake were partying at W.I.P. nightclub in NYC for Teyana Taylor’s G.O.O.D. Music signing party when their crews came to blows. Chris suffered a gash on his chin when a bottle was hurled at him allegedly by Drake. Chris’ bodyguard also suffered serious injuries to his head.

Drake denied being involved in the altercation, saying in a statement that he was leaving the club as the fight began. Fingers then pointed to Meek Mill, who reports said threw the bottle at Chris. Meek denied being involved in the fight and Chris later confirmed that Meek had nothing to do with the fight, tweeting, “Me and Meek Mill ain’t on that bullsh*t. Real Recognized Real.

Early reports said that Chris started the fight when he sent a bottle over to Drake’s table — and Drake sent back a note saying, “I’m f*cking the love of your life.”

Drake and Meek Mill have recently been romantically linked to Rihanna. Chris has been rumored to have been hooking up with her secretly for the past year.

Sources say that the fight started when Drake gave one of Chris’ bodyguards the finger and shouted, “I’m about to go whoop that a**!” Chris’ entourage then reportedly gave a few disrespectful hand gestures of their own. Witnesses said that Drake felt disrespected and went to go get Meek Mill, Juelz Santana and Trav B.

Drake then reportedly got loud and shouted at Chris, “You be on that h* s**t on Twitter n***a” — a clear reference to a recent Twitter war between Chris, Drake, and Meek — over Rihanna.

Moments later, Chris’ security and Meek Mill, Juelz and Chris’ people started pushing and shoving. Someone threw a bottle and then the fight started. Club security rushed to break up the fight and called police. When police arrived, both Chris and Drake had already left the scene. Members of both crews required medical assistance.
