Chris Brown has reportedly been taken to hospital with a gash to his chin after a fight with Drake at a New York nightclub.

The 23-year-old Look at Me Now singer is believed to have got into a brawl at the Greenhouse nightclub when Drake taunted him over their previous relationships with Rihanna.

The musicians are said to have a long-running feud over Drake's brief fling with RiRi who is often described as the love of Brown's life.

Celebrity site MediaTakeOut claims that the final straw came when Brown sent a bottle of champagne to Drake's table as a peace offering.

The bottle was returned with a message boasting about Drake sleeping with RiRi.

An angry Brown confronted the Young Money rapper and was punched in the face and repeatedly hit with a bottle, said witnesses.

As bottles went flying it was not only Brown left bleeding. Innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire allegedly also left the club with bloody cuts from broken glass.
