Chris Brown and Drake Victorious in Lawsuit over Club Brawl

By: Amanda Anderson-Niles

More news on the Chris Brown and Drake lawsuit. Neither Chris Brown or his nemesis Drake may be with Rihanna now, but it’s pretty clear no one will forget that pretty drastic club brawl that went down between the two artist and their entourages which was reportedly over Rihanna. While it’s obvious Chris and Drake will still never be friends, what wasn’t so obvious is whether or not they would have to pay the club that felt the effects of their violent clash. As we reported recently, both artists were sued by the club for $16 million and the club claimed in the suit the whole ordeal tarnished its reputation thanks to all the press the club and the confrontation got as a result. Now it’s been confirmed the lawsuit was thrown out and both artists won’t have to pay a dime. TMZ reports:

Greenhouse is adjacent to W.i.P nightclub — where Chris and Drake’s entourages got into a massive bottle-throwing brawl last June — and EE said their reputation took a massive hit following the ordeal because of its proximity to Greenhouse. EE said the brawl cost them a lot of money.

Drake responded to the lawsuit, saying it wasn’t his problem — because he can’t control how the media reported the incident — and this week, the judge in the case took his side.

The judge said Drake and Chris had no duty to the club to behave — especially because their brawl didn’t even occur on Greenhouse’s premises — and while nightclub brawls are unfortunate, they’re not uncommon … which means EE can’t just sue whenever a fight happens.
