Drake Talks About Fight With Chris Brown. Kinda.

Posted byBy Nick Chiles | Published on: CommentsComments (3)

Drake Chris Brown Fight – At a concert in New York, rapper Drake finally spoke out about his alleged brawl with Chris Brown last week that left a bunch of injuries, broken bottles and allegations in its wake. Well, we think he spoke out. The statements he made from the stage at Jones Beach sounded like he might have been trying to get a point across. We just can’t tell what the point was.

“When I woke up this morning, I had to think about a lot of things. But the only thing I gave a f–k about was that I was in New York City tonight,” he said. Then later in the show, the “Take Care” rapper added to the cryptic comments: “It’s last call and you’re really too drunk to give a f–k.”

But then there was more: “A n*gga in the corner is standing there looking at you funny,” he added. “You bump elbows with him on the way to the bathroom, but really there’s only one n*gga that you got to think about.”

Perhaps we’re not fluent enough in Drake speak to understand exactly what he was trying to say. If anybody out there can provide a translation, it would be greatly appreciated.
The fracas resulted in the W.i.P. club in the West Village being shut down and even an injury to basketball star Tony Parker, who said he got shards of glass in his eye—and of course the infamous Twitter photos of Chris Brown showing the gash on his chin. One witness reportedly said Drake was the cause of the violence. The whole thing supposedly centers around the fact that both men at some point dated Rihanna.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
