Drake and Chris Brown did not officially rumble, they left that to their bodyguards and friends, but allegedly Chris Brown sent champagne over to Drake who in turn sent over a note stating, “I am f**king the love of your life.” This is all hearsay so we will never now! And of course Brown got upset and threw the paper on the floor…but then Drake went over to the table and then the fight ensued after a few words were exchanged. Drake’s rep denies his clients involvement in the fight!
According to the NY Post,
“I am f–king the love of your life,” read a note sent from Drake’s table to Brown at about 4 a.m. after Brown ordered his rival’s table a bottle of pricey Armand de Brignac Champagne — commonly known as Ace of Spades, a witness said.
Rihanna — Brown’s singer ex-girlfriend who had also been linked to Drake — was not at the W.i.P. club, where Brown was buying bottles for several tables in the VIP section.
“Chris didn’t swing back, he just tried to brush them off. He told us, ‘Let’s go,’ but there were bottles flying at us. I saw one bottle was thrown, it looked like a vodka bottle, and hit Chris on the face,” she said.
“The anger from Drake’s entourage was terrifying.”
The bloodshed touched off a full-scale brawl in the basement club — where at least five bystanders were injured by flying bottles .
“I saw him tell the waitress to send a bottle to Drake’s table. I then saw a waitress come back with a piece of paper and gave it to Chris,” Ingrid Gutierrez, 21, a model who was sitting at Brown’s table, told The Post.
“He looked upset and just threw it on the floor.”
Drake and a posse that included rapper Meek Mill and all their bodyguards then walked over to the table where a shirtless Brown was seated.
“They were giving him [Brown] the middle finger. They got into each other’s faces and were shouting at each other,” Gutierrez said.
“Chris told Drake to f–k off, and the next thing I could hear is the sound smashed glass and mayhem started.
“Somebody in Drake’s group — I don’t think it was Drake — swung at Chris, but missed.
Brown’s bodyguard, Big Pat, suffered a gaping head wound.
W.i.P., connected to the much-larger Greenhouse club, was jammed at the time with a slew of celebrities — including Mary J. Blige, Trey Songz, Wale, Ne-Yo and NBA star Tony Parker — and their hangers-on.
Brown, 23 — on probation for assaulting Rihanna three years ago — suffered a deep gash on his face.
“There was blood gushing out of Chris’ chin,” Gutierrez said.
Brown later tweeted a photo of his wound with the taunt, “How u party with rich n—- that hate? Lol….Throwing bottles like girls? #shameonya!”
Gutierrez was also injured in the fight.“I was on the couch, covering my face, because I’d been hit on the head by a bottle and my head was bleeding,” the Brooklyn woman said.“I thought I was going to die.”
W.i.P.’s floor was left a wasteland of broken glass, spilled booze and blood after the capacity crowd emptied out onto Van Dam and Varick streets.
Once outside, Brown took off his shirt again and stood at a waiting SUV as a member of his entourage cursed and pointed to someone in the crowd, an amateur video posted on YouTube shows.
“Where’s the gun? . . . Get in the f–kin’ truck!” another entourage member seems to be saying.
“Right here, right here,” someone replies.
Brown spokesman Jeff Raymond calls the video misleading.
“It is not true,” he said. “There was no gun.”
NYPD detectives yesterday took copies of surveillance video that captured the brawl. There were at least two police reports filed as cops investigated.
New Update: Gossip Cop claims there was never a note exchanged!
Rumors spread on Thursday and Friday that the club brawl between the two performers’ entourages began after Brown allegedly sent Drake’s table a champagne bottle, only to have Drake send back an inflammatory note.
According to numerous outlets, Drake’s message to Brown concerned the singer’s ex, Rihanna, which is what supposedly set off the violence.
Gossip Cop’s eyewitness account of the fight did NOT make the bottle/note claim, and now Brown’s mother, Joyce Hawkins, and his manager are also blasting those initial reports.
Hawkins has directed fans to Brown’sPhase Too management Twitter account, which just announced, “There was no bottle sent to @drake and there was no note! Stop the lies, TMZ/MTO!!!! There were no punches thrown, just glass.”
The origins of the brawl have still not been officially established, although Brown’s camp has met with the New York Police Department.
We will probably never know the truth!
