Chris Brown and Drake Sued for $16 Million in Manhattan Bottle Throwing Brawl

Drake and Chris Brown and Rihanna



(AllHipHop News) According to documents filed in New York’s Manhattan Supreme Court, Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. has filed suit for $16 million in damages resulting from the fight involving Chris Brown and Drake.
In a recent article in the New York Post detailing the suit, Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. states that both Chris Brown and Drake “shared a grudge against the other arising out of their romantic relationships with the same woman,” Rihanna, and when they “crossed paths,” they “began to fight violently with each other.”
The suit also states that, “each arrived with his own small army of bodyguards, ‘security’ personnel, employees, friends and other members of their entourage, consisting of at least 15 heavily built men trained and/or experienced in hand-to-hand and weapons combat.”
Both entourages are said to have “fashioned deadly weapons out of whatever materials they could find, including glasses, alcohol bottles and furniture, thereby circumventing the nightclubs’ extensive efforts to ensure a safe environment.”
As well, the article states that Entertainment Enterprises is filing suit because it owns the trademark on the Greenhouse name outside of New York, and that it had negotiated a $4 million deal to license the name in place until the melee ruined negotiations.
Neither Drake nor Chris Brown has been formally charged in the incident, but the suit is officially being filed for”gross negligence,” “ultrahazardous activity,” and “intentional illegal acts.”
More news as details emerge.
