Drake and Chris Brown exchange bottles

POLICE don’t usually get their mitts on photos showing the crime scene seconds BEFORE the incident kicks off.


But any nightclub that has Chris Brown and Drake under the same roof is bound to have a few fans with camera phones at the ready.

These new snaps have surfaced of Rihanna’s two exes just before the bloody bar fight, which left Brown with a gashed chin.

They show love rivals Brown and Drake yards from each other in the packed VIP section at New York’s W.i.P club.

The pics may come in handy for police investigating the bust-up early on Thursday, as the club’s CCTV footage may be useless.

According to reports, the film is so poor that it’s almost impossible to make out any faces.

Last night there were conflicting reports about whether anyone would be arrested over the incident, in which other clubbers were hit by flying bottles.

The trouble is said to have started after Drake sent Brown a note saying, “I am f***ing the love of your life”.


But rapper Drake is insisting one of Brown’s entourage had been making offensive comments to his pals.

Brown’s lawyer claimed: “I have turned over evidence that it was Drake who instigated this. The evidence makes it clear that Chris is the victim.

“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.”


It has also emerged that Eva Longoria’s basketball player ex Tony Parker was with Brown and also got injured.

Parker says he’s had to postpone training for the London Olympics, where he will captain the French team, after flying glass hit him in the eye, leaving him with a scratched retina.

He’s wearing special contact lens to help it heal.

He said: “I was with my friend Chris Brown and me and my friends took some punches.

“I’ll be missing the start of the French team training because I can’t do anything for a week except keep the lens in and take drops. But I was lucky — the injury won’t prevent me from competing in the Olympics in any way.”

CHRIS Brown has been left with a bloody gash on his chin after a reported row with rapper Drake.


The pair are said to have clashed in a New York nightclub and the R&B star was treated in hospital after he was allegedly bottled by one of the rival hitmaker’s entourage.

The two musicians have had a long-running feud over Drake’s dalliance with Chris’s ex Rihanna.

But when they met at WIP club last night, Chris is thought to have sent a bottle of champagne to Drake's table as a peace offering.

Unconfirmed reports say the bottle was returned with a note referring to Rihanna which read: “I'm f****** the love of your life, deal with it."


Onlookers say Chris was then hit in the face with a bottle during a subsequent fracas.

Chris, who showed the bleeding chin to his ten million followers before changing his mind, then took himself to hospital.

He later tweeted: "How u party wit rich n**** that hate? Lol... Throwing bottles like girls? #shameonya!"

Furiously venting on Twitter with a series of posts that he subsequently removed, the singer also wrote: "N****s in the bathroom b**ch a** n****s."



The 23-year-old split with Rihanna in February 2009 after he assaulted her in a violent row before the Grammy awards.

Despite their rivarly, an unreleased track featuring both Chris and Drake called Yamaha Mama surfaced online last month.
