One of the club-goers caught in the middle was Hollie C, an Australian tourist who was rushed to Bellevue Hospital after she was smashed in the head with a flying bottle during the fight.
A gruesome photo shows a gash in her head and her face covered with blood. She needed 16 stitches to close the wound.
Witnesses say the two recording stars started fighting after Chris Brown sent Drake a bottle of Champagne as a peace offering. Drake reportedly sent the bottle back with a note: ‘I’m f****** the love of your life, deal with it.’
As they were squaring off,police don’t know who yet threw a bottle.
Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham, was not in the group that confronted Chris Brown, NYPD Lt John Grimple told Mail Online.
Hollie, the injured tourist, told TMZ.com she went to W.i.P. with friends on Wednesday night, unaware they were sitting in between two angry rappers and their entourages.
Suddenly, all hell broke loose.
‘Within a few moments of noticing glass being thrown around, I saw a glass bottle headed towards me, consequently hitting me in the head.’ she told TMZ.
‘I immediately started to bleed and proceeded to fall in and out of consciousness.’
She was one of eight people treated as a result of the fight. Hollie and four others had nothing to do with the bar brawl.
Big Pat, is Chris Brown’s bodyguard,. A photo shows him laying in a hospital bed with a bloody, wound on his head.
Chris Brown was also injured. He posted a picture of a gash on his chin, apparently sustained from the fight with Drake.
His female companion was hurt, as well.
Brown allegedly flew into a rage after Drake taunted him by returning a bottle of champagne he’d sent over as ‘peace offering’ with a note reading: ‘I’m f****** the love of your life, deal with it’.
Drake’s crude response was clearly a reference to Brown’s ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
According to website Global Grind, Chris reportedly flew into a rage and confronted Drake.
Drake allegedly threw a punch but before the singer could retaliate, another man hit Brown in the face with a bottle.
A source told the New York Post: ‘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.
The source said someone from Drake’s entourage, possibly the singer himself, threw a bottle.
‘Once the bottle was thrown, all hell broke loose and there were more bottles thrown.’
The fight allegedly kicked off as the last song was playing, just before 4 a.m.
Police were already at the scene because it was closing time and that they ‘were on it in seconds and began getting everyone out of the club.’
Brown was pulled out of the situation by his own security and helped out of the club while Drake was pulled to the back of the club, the source said. ‘[Drake] was one of the last out of W.I.P.’
The New York Police department confirmed to the Global Grind that the two singers’ crews got into a fight at Manhattan nightclub – 5 people were injured in the melee including Chris’ bodyguard who suffered a serious cut to the head, two other men and two women suffered minor cuts. At least three were hospitalised.
Police were looking at surveillance footage and talking to patrons who witnessed the melee. No arrests have been made and no complaints filed.
Drake has today denied he was involved in ‘any kind last night at W.i.P.’ His spokeswoman said in a statement: ‘He was on his way out of the club when the altercation began.
‘He did not engage in any activity which resulted in injury to person or damage to property.’
Chris Brown’s publicist released a statement saying the R&B singer and his friends ‘were victims of a brutal attack last night at WIP. They sustained several injuries. Chris and his party are cooperating with NY authorities who are pursuing this incident further.
Chris Brown and Toronto rapper Drake two have had a war of words since both being romantically attached to Rihanna.
