Chris Brown & Drake Sued $16 Million for Club Brawl

Let's make it rain.

Just when we were starting to forget that Drake is Jimmy from Degrassi, he went and got in a schoolyard (#thuglife) style club brawl with Chris Brown. The pair are now facing a $16 million lawsuit (each!) from the owners of the New York nightclub, W.i.P, where the fight went down in June.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed with the Manhattan Civil Supreme Court earlier this week, the fight occured because the two parties involved "shared a grudge against the other arising out of their romantic relationships with the same woman," (*cough* Rihanna).

The club is seeking recompense for the damage to their reputation following the fight, where the bottle-wielding brawlers "terrorised patrons". It also alleges that both Drake and Chris arrived with a posse of "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."

The brawl caused injuries to several patrons who are taking legal action. This includes NBA star Tony Parker who suffered a shard of glass to the eye during the fight, and is suing the club for $20 million. Both parties, in true school boy style, have denied participating in the fight.

Here's our version of events, illustrated through pictures:

First of all, Rihanna and Chris Brown are all...
