Chris Brown/ Drake Bar Brawl: Meek Mill Speaks Out

Chris Brown's and Drake's reps have issued statements about the NYC brawl between their entourages last week, but so far, the only direct words from the artists themselves have been via Twitter. Brown and MMG rapper Meek Mill have both tweeted about the incident in the past few days, but now Meek is finally speaking up about what he saw in the club that night as he stood next to Drake.

In an interview with XXL, Meek was asked if he threw a bottle during the melee, which left Chris Brown, his bodyguard and several club patrons wounded. "F--- no," the Philly rapper responded, adding that Drake and Brown didn't either. "Chris and Drake, them two was there, but it's other people that be around that take sh-- to the next level," he said. "Things just happen in the club. I seen girls in there throwing bottles, all types of sh--. All types of people. I never seen Chris Brown or Drake throw a bottle, and I was there."

In the hours following the brawl, Meek's brief tweets didn't add any clarity to the situation. He began with the coy line, "It wasn't me.... (shaggy voice) lol," and later responded to messages from Roscoe Dash, who blasted him along with Drake and Brown for fighting. Meek snapped back, "You gotta chill b4 you b tweeting my name in some sh-- i wasn't even really in! Stay in ya lane!"

Later in the day, Brown — who had already deleted his initial tweets and the photo of his injury, which he posted right after the brawl — sent a follow up message, writing, "Me and @MeekMill ain't on that bullsh--. Real respect Real...."

Although the statement seemed odd, right after reports that Meek had played a role in instigating the fight, Meek confirmed to XXL that things were all good between him and Brown. "What [Brown] tweeted was just that me and Meek Mill ain't got no problem," he said. "I talked to him immediately after that, on the phone afterwards, like immediately. There's nothing there, this-that-and-the-third. Chris Brown be in clubs. He be around situations like this. Things get out of hand. That don't mean it's out of hand with me and him or whoever, not even him and Drake."

Drake made his first public appearance since the brawl at his Club Paradise Tour stop in New York on Saturday night, bringing Meek along with him, but he made no real statement on what went down last week. Instead, he told fans that he'd had a rough couple of days but was in a much better mood by the time he hit the stage. Details from that night are still being revealed. The nightclub where the incident took place was shuttered this weekend, and clubgoers present at the time are reporting injuries from the brawl.
