The fight between Brown, Drake and their respective entourages at Soho's club W.i.P left at least five people hurt.
Brown's girlfriend Karrueche Tran suffered a concussion and his bodyguard had its head sliced open and needed 20 stiches, according to the singer's lawyer Mark Geragos, reports the New York Times.
Also an Australian tourist was also injured and needed 16 stitches.
Media reported that the fight started after Drake sent over a note to Brown that read: "I am fu--ing the love of your life."
Another account by tabloid TMZ, is that Drake sparked the fight after he flashed the middle finger to Brown's bodyguard and started to do trash talk.
Khaliah Clark, a fashion stylist who witnessed the brawl at the W.i.P told the New York Times that it started when Brown asked a waitress to send a bottle of Champagne to Drake but the waitress returned with the bottle in hand. Then the bottles started to fly from Brown's table to Drake's table.
Brown's lawyer told the Times: "There was no note. There was no bottle of Champagne sent over...Clearly this was orchestrated by Drake.”
