QuoteChris Brown, Drake brawl in NYC nightclub

New York City police are investigating an early morning Manhattan bar brawl involving hip hop stars Drake and Chris Brown.

Police say five people were injured in the fight at club W.I.P. early Thursday morning, where people from both entourages were tossing bottles. Police say the injuries were mostly minor lacerations.

It's not clear what prompted the fight. Both Brown and Drake dated singer Rihanna, but Brown remains on supervised probation for beating her in 2009. Rihanna performed on Drake's hit, "Take Care."

Brown tweeted a photo of himself with a cut chin, then later removed it, as well as other messages about the fight, including epithets and taunts.
Messages for the club and agents for the stars weren't immediately returned. There have been no arrests.

No one got stabbed or shot, no one died, and no guns involved. I'd say they are pretty good role models for young black males in this country.

As a general rule, if you're looking for a positive role model, regardless of race or gender, don't look in the music industry.

Looks like they were fighting over the right to beat popular singer Rihanna.

Perfectly understandable.  ;)

Apparently the manager of the club has now been arrested on outstanding warrants for noise violations. Thought is that they want to squeeze him to get knowledge about the brawl. Gotta love the police. :rolleyes:

QuoteSan Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker says he suffered a scratched retina on one of his eyes during a New York City nightclub brawl involving singer Chris Brown and members of hip-hop star Drake's entourage.

Parker, wearing dark sunglasses, described the incident Friday in Paris during a news conference posted on YouTube. He said he expects to be sidelined for about a week while the French team prepares for the Summer Olympics.

Parker said he was wearing a ''therapeutic'' contact lens and had to go to an emergency room for treatment after arriving in Paris.

Parker said: ''I was with my friend Chris Brown and me and my friends took some punches, so I'll be missing the start of the French team because I can't do anything for a week except keep the lens in and then take drops.''

Police said Brown, his girlfriend and his bodyguard were among several people injured during the bottle-hurling fight early Thursday at W.i.P in SoHo.

Parker said ''they started throwing bottles everywhere. I don't know what happened. At first it was OK, but then it started getting worse and when the plane landed it was really hurting so I went straight to the ER.''

The Spurs declined comment.

At least Chris Brown has moved on to beating up men now.
