‘Drake wasn’t involved in Chris Brown brawl’

A rep for US rapper Drake has released a statement saying the rapper wasn’t involved in the reported brawl with pop act Chris Brown at the WIP night club on June 13, 2012.

‘He did not engage in any activity which resulted in injury to person or damage to property’, the statement read.

It was reported that the top artistes and their crew members were involved in a brutal altercation after a verbal confrontation which led to a deep cut to Chris Brown’s chin. A rep for the singer had said Brown and his girlfriend, model Karrueche Tran, were victims of a ‘brutal attack.’

It is still unclear what happened that night in the club as multiple reports have emanated from the different sources.

Witnesses told police that two men approached Brown’s table and asked him whether he had a problem with Drake, and he replied he did not. Later, as Brown was leaving the club, five men met blocked his way on the dance floor and started taking off their shirts and yelling, police said.

At some point during the face-off, bottles started flying. Chief NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said it’s not clear whether the bottles were tossed by members of either entourage, or if bar patrons eager to egg on a dispute started throwing them.

Other sources say Brown and Drake had been hanging out in the VIP section when Drake began pointing and yelling at Brown. Brown allegedly began yelling back and that’s when members of both entourages rushed in and began shoving each other.

With tensions running high, someone threw a bottle – which set the whole thing off and the shoving turned to punches.

Five bystanders, four women and a man, also suffered cuts during the fight at the club W.I.P. in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood, police said. Brown’s bodyguard suffered a more serious cut to the head, but all the victims were released from the hospital later Thursday.

As reported earlier, no arrests were made as Drake and Brown had left the club before the Police arrived the scene. Both acts have however been cooperating with authorities to resolve the matter.

The club suffered some serious damage in the fight – including busted up tables, broken mirrors, shattered lighting and glass scratches all over the floors.

The fight is said to have been over Bajan pop princess Robin ‘Rihanna’ Fenty who both acts have been linked with in the past. It is said that Rihanna had affair with Drake while she was still dating Chris Brown.
