Just before stepping out of an NYC nightclub on Thursday, June 14 morning, Chris Brown had a brawl with Drake's entourage. They allegedly fought after throwing each other blows over Brown's ex-girlfriend Rihanna who is also rumored to have hooked up with Drake.

The incident took place at WIP nightclub slightly after 4 A.M. "They were on opposite sides of the room, Drake went over to the middle of the club to talk to someone, then words were exchanged with Chris and his entourage," a source told NY Post. "It looked like Drake's entourage started it. Both Chris and Drake had their own security with them."

It was claimed that Drake threw the first bottle which later hit Brown's chin. "Once the bottle was thrown, all hell broke loose and there were more bottles thrown," the source added. Brown was pulled out of the scene while Drake was dragged to the back of the club. A total of five people were injured in the melee.

NYPD arrived at the club after a call was made but neither Brown nor Drake was present. No arrests were made, TMZ reported.

A representative of Drake said, "It was his entourage [involved]. It's unclear if he [Drake] was there. I'm still trying to find out." Meanwhile, Brown tweeted a photo of a gash on his chin and removed it later. He wrote, "How u party wit rich n**** that hate? Lol... Throwing bottles like girls? #shameonya!"
