Chris Brown (r.) tweeted a photo of a gash on his chin after getting into a bar fight with Drake and his entourage.
Volatile R&B star Chris Brown suffered a gash to his chin in a bottle-throwing brawl over Rihanna that erupted between his entourage and rapper Drake’s posse at a Manhattan nightclub, police sources said.
The wild fight, which left five people with lacerations, started about 4 a.m. Thursday at Club W.I.P. in the West Village — and was reportedly sparked by a comment about Rihanna, Brown’s ex-girlfriend.
According to a police source, a round of drinks with a note about the sultry singer was sent between the two groups before the fight began.
Brown — who famously assaulted Rihanna in 2009, leaving her bruised and bloody — posted a picture of his injury on his Twitter account, TMZ.com reported.
Brown added a message to the photo: “How u party with rich n------ that hate? Lol ... Throwing bottles like girls? #shameonya!”
The picture and the tweet were later taken down.
Police received a 911 call about a disorderly group at the basement club on Vandam St., but both Drake and Brown were gone by the time cops arrived.
Four of the people taken to local hospital were innocent bystanders, while the fifth was believed to be involved in the fight, police sources said.
Brown, in addition to taking a bottle to his chin, was also reportedly punched in the face by Drake’s forces, police sources said.
