Drake Hints at Nightclub Fight During Concert

Drake hinted at the nightclub fight between him and Brown during his concert at Jones Beach, N.Y., on Saturday night. When I woke up this morning, I had to think about a lot of things, Drake said onstage, according to the New York Daily News. But the only thing I gave a f--- about was that I was in New York City tonight.

After performing a few songs, he made, what seemed to be yet another reference to the fight: It's last call and you're really too drunk to give a f---. A n---- in the corner is standing there looking at you funny. You bump elbows with him on the way to the bathroom, but really there's only one n---- that you got to think about.

Brown Continues to Deny Guilt

Brown, who is infamous for domestic violence against Rihanna in February 2009, continues to deny guilt in the nightclub fight. His lawyer, Mark Gergaros, gave the NYPD physical evidence that reportedly proves Drake instigated the brawl. According to TMZ, Brown is being labeled as a witness and a victim by detectives. Drake's entourage refuses to speak with the police, according to TMZ.

Fingers Pointed at Drake

Despite the fact that Drake continues to deny wrongdoing, a witness at the club said Drake started the fight. They were all so nice, 21-year-old model Ingrid Gutierrez told the New York Post. We were having such a good time. I was talking to my girlfriends, and I talked to Chris a little bit. I also talked to his bodyguard, Big Pat.

She said everyone was enjoying the evening until just before 4 a.m. Brown asked a waitress to send a bottle of champagne over to Drake, according to Gutierrez, and she came back with a piece of paper that Brown read and then threw on the floor. The Post reports that this note might be the Rihanna-referencing note that reportedly read, I am f--king the love of your life.

They got up in his face and were giving him the middle finger. Chris told Drake to f--k off, and the next thing I heard was smashed glass and the bottles started flying at us, Gutierrez said. She saw someone attempt to punch Brown, a punch that was blocked by his bodyguard.

I didn't see Chris act violently towards anyone, she said. Chris said, 'Let's go,' but there were bottles flying and I saw him get hit in the face, so I hunkered down where I was.

I think Drake's entourage are cowards for throwing bottles at girls, she said. I've lost all respect for Drake. Chris Brown acted like a gentleman to all the girls there. Chris tried to protect me and my friend.

More Injured Victims Come Forward

Ingrid Gutierrez suffered an injury to her head on the night of the Drake and Brown fight, reportedly started over Rihanna. She was rushed to NYU Medical Center, according to the Post, and needed five staples to close the wound. The Brooklyn native's lawyer told E! News that she is aggressively investigating all aspects of the fight.  

Eva Longoria's ex-husband and NBA player, Tony Parker, was also in the club that night and got shards of glass in his left eye. I was there with a bunch of friends when a fight broke out. They started to throw bottles about ... I got it all, Parker said in a news conference. The cornea has been touched. I can't do anything for seven days ... But I was lucky. The injury won't prevent me from competing [in] the Olympics in any way.

Chris Brown's bodyguard, Big Pat, who reportedly attempted to shield the singer, suffered a head wound during the fight.
