CHRIS BROWN's attorney is determined to
prove rapper DRAKE was responsible for starting the violent club brawl in New York which left the
R&B singer with a bloody cut on his chin.
The Kiss Kiss hitmaker was hit in the face with a bottle during the
Wednesday night (13Jun12) fight at Manhattan
hotspot W.i.P., which erupted when tension between the two artists' entourages
boiled over.
Reports suggest Brown sent Drake a bottle of champagne to show he had no
hard feelings over their shared love for his ex-girlfriend Rihanna, but the
peace offering was allegedly rejected by the rapper, who is said to have sent
back an insulting note which made reference to the Umbrella beauty.
Police are now investigating the incident, although a spokesperson for
Drake dismissed the rumours and insisted the hip-hop star "did not
participate in any wrongdoing of any kind" and was "on his way out of
the club" when the altercation began.
Surveillance footage from the venue has reportedly proved useless to
detectives' case, but Brown's legal representative, Mark Geragos, claims he has
proof that Drake was at the centre of the violence.
He tells the New York Post, "I have turned over evidence that it
was Drake who instigated this. The evidence makes it clear that Chris is the
victim in all of this.
"I believe the police are building a case against Drake and his
thugs. Clearly, Drake was the instigator, and there is evidence he threw
glassware."
Brown wasn't the only one hurt in the melee -
basketball ace Tony Parker, who was also present at the club, got glass in his
eye and four others were left with nasty injuries too.
