Drake Speaks On Chris Brown Fight During Concert

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Drake’s twitter page has not received an update since June 11th and Chris Brown has deleted several angry tweets over the last couple days but in the aftermath of their fight Drake chose to address the crowd at his concert at Jones Beach Theater in New York City last night.

The concert that warranted additional security included other rappers like Waka Flocka Flame, 2 Chainz, Meek Mill, French Montana, and J. Cole. During his set Drake hinted at what may have caused bottles to begin flying,

“You were having a good night so far, you done had a couple drinks, you done met a couple thangs, and then the ni**a in the corner start looking at you funny and you feel a motherfu**in’ way about it. And then somebody going to the bathroom bumps you with their elbow and you like, ‘What the f**k?’ At that time in my life, there’s really only one ni**a that I wanna hear,” said the Young Money rapper, before Waka Flocka joined him for “Round of Applause.”

While Drake is getting through the incident with work, victims of the brawl continue to surface. The latest victim Lucy Pavlovsky and her lawyer Javier Solano tells TMZ she suffered a cut on a arm that required 12 stitches and they plan to sue.

Chris Brown has since cooperated with police while Drake and his entourage remain silent. See video of Drake at concert below:

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
