Drake And Chris Brown Are Being SUED For Nightclub Fight!
If you remember back to last June when Chris Brown and Drake had a fight in a NYC club. Both R&B artists have been named as defendants in a $16 million lawsuit from Entertainment Enterprises Lt.d, a company connected to joint clubs Greenhouse and WiP.
The documents filed in Manhattan Supreme Court want the boys fighting over Rihanna to pay up for “gross negligence,” “ultrahazardous activity” and “intentional illegal acts” after “each arrived with his own small army of bodyguards” and then “began to fight violently with each other.”
To make the situation worse, the suit claims:
“Each ordered his security personnel, bodyguards, friends and entourage to join the fight, which erupted into a violent brawl on a massive scale … On defendant Brown and and defendant Drake’s instructions, their two posses had at each other, throwing highball glasses laden with alcohol, shattering the handles of bottles of spirits to use as makeshift knives, and even throwing full bottles at each other. Within seconds, defendants filled an already packed nightclub full of flying glass shrapnel.”
Drake To Release Aaliyah’s Album Soon!
Drake is said to may be releasing Aaliyah’s Album before the end of the worldyear’s end!
While backstage at Ovo Fest, Drake shared:
“To get 13, 14 new Aaliyah songs, everybody should be excited. It’s not about me. It’s about her and her fans and us just getting the opportunity to give you something that we feel is great.”
There is also the issue of whether or not Aaliyah’s family supports Drake’s plans for their late loved one’s music, and hopefully Drake’s not just going full steam ahead without their permission.
Timbaland & Missy Elliot To Make Some New Music Together!?
Missy Elliot and Timbaland are about to make some sweet music together!
At one time we was thinking that Drake was super into being the SOLE producer behind the posthumous Aaliyah album, which should be slamming into ears by the end of 2012 so wierd.
records, has confirmed that a 16-track album featuring unreleased Aaliyah material is currently in the works, and yes, it SHOULD be released by year’s end.
Jomo recently shared:
“We really felt like it was time. There’s a real new generation that doesn’t know her necessarily, and we wanted to continue her musical legacy with this new generation. That’s one of the reasons why we wanted to do very contemporary music….Timbaland will be involved with this project. One of the records that we had that was never released was a Missy record that we obviously are going to be refreshing. I can tell you that Timbaland will definitely be involved, Missy will definitely be involved.”
We so want to hear that it would like its going to be great!
