Chris Brown’s club brawl early Thursday with members of Drake’s entourage is the day’s big story — and Gossip Cop now has exclusive on-the-scene details from an eyewitness who saw it all go down.
Here’s what we learned from Man-E Jay, a stylist who was in the room when things turned ugly.
The incident happened at approximately 3:50 a.m., during last call at W.i.P., a venue in New York’s SoHo neighborhood.
Brown and Drake’s crew were at the club, as were Mary J. Blige, Ne-Yo and Fabolous.
We’re told that Drake looked “pissed” and “serious,” and that after an unknown provocation, a member of his party picked up a bottle and hit Brown directly in the face with it.
Pandemonium ensued.

Our eyewitness reports that for a “crazy” 15 seconds or so, the two sides — each comprised of about fifteen people — threw glasses, bottles and metal ice containers, with several individuals struck in the process.
A bodyguard for Brown, Big Pat, was badly hurt in the commotion, sustaining a serious head injury (picture below).
Brown himself was left with a gash on his chin, which he tweeted in a photo (above) that he later removed.
Man-E Jay tells Gossip Cop that Brown and Drake never physically touched each other during the melee.
Both rappers left the premises immediately after the craziness.
Cops and bouncers later cleared everyone else out, after Brown and Drake were gone.
There are rumors that the fight started over Brown’s ex Rihanna, but Gossip Cop’s eyewitness was not able to confirm that widely reported detail.

Chris Brown Bar Brawl a "Brutal Attack," Says Singer's Rep; Drake Denies Involvement!

Drake may have been at the nightclub when a fight broke out there involving Chris Brown, but the "Best I Ever Had" rapper insists he had nothing do with it. A rep for Drake told E! News in a statement: "Drake did not participate in any wrongdoing of any kind last night at W.i.P. He was on his way out of the club when the altercation began." Meanwhile, Brown's publicist gave us the following quote: "Chris, [model] Karrueche [Tran] and his friends were victims of a brutal attack last night at W.i.P. They sustained several injuries. Chris and his party are cooperating with NY authorities who are pursuing this incident further." However, a source, who claims to have spoken with a staffer at a local business who was on hand, spoke with E! News, alleging that, per the staffer, Drake supposedly approached Brown outside the club. The source claims that someone then threw a bottle at Breezy, with security jumping in to try to protect him. And this morning, Jim Ruscingno, an eyewitness outside the club, spoke to 3m360! News about what he had seen. "I didn't see the fight, but the first person to come out was Chris Brown," he said. "He rushed out of the club and his security guard was bloody. Then Meek Mill came out laughing and joking around. Then Drake came out and he looked heated, like he was looking for someone. At first, everyone outside the club didn't know what was happening." In the aforementioned statement, though, Drake's rep stressed that "[Drake] did not engage in any activity which resulted in injury to person or damage to property.
