And it got nastier by the minute!
Chris Brown, 23, dated Rihanna until she dumped him after he savagely beat her on the eve of her performance at the Grammy Awards in 2009. After their breakup, the beauty from Barbados was romantically linked with rapper Drake.
Reports indicate Rihanna, 24, is in the process of getting back together with Chris Brown.
The New York Police Department is investigating the fight, which broke out at Club W.i.P in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan.
A spokesman said investigators believe Chris Brown, his bodyguard and a woman with him were trying to leave the club about 4am when they were confronted by five members of Drake’s posse.
As they were squaring off, someone — police don’t know who yet — threw a bottle.
Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham, was not in the group that confronted Chris Brown, NYPD Lt John Grimple told Mail Online.
Hollie, the injured tourist, told TMZ.com she went to W.i.P. with friends on Wednesday night, unaware they were sitting in between two angry rappers and their entourages.
Suddenly, all hell broke loose.
‘Within a few moments of noticing glass being thrown around, I saw a glass bottle headed towards me, consequently hitting me in the head.’ she told TMZ.
‘I immediately started to bleed and proceeded to fall in and out of consciousness.’
The source said someone from Drake’s entourage, possibly the singer himself, threw a bottle.
‘Once the bottle was thrown, all hell broke loose and there were more bottles thrown.’
The fight allegedly kicked off as the last song was playing, just before 4 a.m.
Police were already at the scene because it was closing time and that they ‘were on it in seconds and began getting everyone out of the club.’
Pictures of the aftermath show the club floor strewn with broken glass.
Brown was pulled out of the situation by his own security and helped out of the club while Drake was pulled to the back of the club, the source said. ‘[Drake] was one of the last out of W.I.P.’
The New York Police department confirmed to the Global Grind that the two singers’ crews got into a fight at Manhattan nightclub – 5 people were injured in the melee including Chris’ bodyguard who suffered a serious cut to the head, two other men and two women suffered minor cuts. At least three were hospitalised
Police were looking at surveillance footage and talking to patrons who witnessed the melee. No arrests have been made and no complaints filed.
Drake has today denied he was involved in ‘any kind last night at W.i.P.’ His spokeswoman said in a statement: ‘He was on his way out of the club when the altercation began.
He did not engage in any activity which resulted in injury to person or damage to property.’
Chris Brown’s publicist released a statement saying the R&B singer and his friends ‘were victims of a brutal attack last night at WIP. They sustained several injuries. Chris and his party are cooperating with NY authorities who are pursuing this incident further.
Chris Brown and Toronto rapper Drake two have had a war of words since both being romantically attached to Rihanna.
The fight will further fuel rumors regarding the closeness of Rihanna to Chris Brown.
Meanwhile Rihanna and Chris Brown…..
Earlier this week the two pop superstars partied at the same club at the same time for the second time in as many days, leaving within minutes of each other.TMZ reported the pair were in the club together for around 30 minutes and Brown spent some time with the ‘Rude Girl’ singer at her table.
Sitting in different booths, the couple still ‘kept a close eye on each other’ – and Brown sent her over two bottles of Ace of Spades Champagne.
A video surfaced earlier this week of the pair leaving the club minutes apart.
The lovelorn pair have been linked together several times already this year, after it emerged that they had recorded songs with each other.
