Chris Brown Suffers Injury After Fight With Drake

Chris Brown and rapper Drake were reportedly involved in a nasty fight at a New York club, WIP, Wednesday involving actual blows and bottles!

While the exact details are sketchy, first reports are claiming rappers Drake and Meek Mill, of Drake’s camp who collaborated with Brown on the single “Yamaha Mamma,” were directly involved in the scuffle.

And supposedly the fracas escalated all due to Rihanna.

“How u party with a rich n***a that hate? Lol…. Throwing bottles like girls? #shameonya!” Brown blasted on his Twitter page with a picture of a nasty chin laceration sustained by a bottle slung in his direction apparently from Drake’s camp.

“N****s throwing bottles! Y’all n****z weak!”

“Bottles? It’s nothing! Lol.”

“N****s is p***y,” the 22-year-old tweeted before deleting from his Twitter page.

Though there’s no direct understanding what brought this exact brouhaha on, rapper Meek Mill and the “Strip” singer have had beef prior via Twitter (can someone please delete Brown’s account).

Why? You guessed it—Chris was allegedly unhappy when he caught wind of Drake’s comrade and his ex being involved romantically.

“You took me off ya song cause she let me watch the throne #dreamsandnightmares,” Meek Mill tweeted (months ago) jumping the beef off in reference to RiRi joining Jay Z and Kanye West on stage.

Of course Chris had to respond with a tweet: “She’s a dream chaser! There are a lot of dream chasers so she’ll be running forever.”

“Dese chicks belong to the game… not u! Never get confused and think that’s all u!” Meek Mill replied.

Though RiRi and Chris were just hanging out the day before at a New York club, it doesn’t appear that the “Birthday Cake” singer was in attendance last night.

According to TMZ, there were no critical injuries, but five people did sustain some sort of injury and when the NYPD arrived at the scene both Drake and Chris had already left the club.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
