Witness:"Drake Started The Brawl With Chris Brown"

Ingrid Gutierrez and a few of her girlfriends arrived at W.I.P. nightclub at 3 am Thursday, just wanting to have a good time. It didn't turn out as they have imagined as Ingrid ended up in the middle of the Chris Brown-Drake bar brawl.

The club was so crowded that night, Ingrid, 21, became separated from her friends before she bumped into an acquaintance who was there with Chris Brown.

The next thing Ingrid knew, she was sitting with Brown and his entourage and being poured $2,000 a bottle Ace of Spades champagne.

"They were all so nice," Ingrid told "The New York Post". "We were having such a good time. I was talking to my girlfriends, and I talked to Chris a little bit. I also talked to his bodyguard Big Pat."

 Everything went well until 4 am, when what appeared like a generous gesture on Brown's part turned everything on its head. The rapper, stated Ingrid, asked a waitress to send a bottle of the Champagne to Drake’s table. She returned with a piece of paper that Brown looked at and threw onto the floor.
The Post reports that it turned out to be the taunting Rihanna-referencing note that read: "I am f--king the love of your life," sources have claimed.

Drake and a group that included rapper Meek Mill and their bodyguards then strutted over to Brown’s table.

"They got up in his face and were giving him the middle finger. Chris told Drake to f--k off, and the next thing I heard was smashed glass and the bottles started flying at us," Ingrid revealed.

Someone threw a punch at Brown but was blocked by Big Pat,  who suffered a big gash in his head.

"I didn’t see Chris act violently towards anyone," she declared. "Chris said, "Let’s go," but there were bottles flying and I saw him get hit in the face, so I hunkered down where I was."

Gutierrez ended up being hit in the head with a bottle. A friend rushed her to NYU Medical Center where it took five staples to close the wound.

"I think Drake’s entourage are cowards for throwing bottles at girls," she quoted as saying. "I’ve lost all respect for Drake. Chris Brown acted like a gentleman to all the girls there. Chris tried to protect me and my friend."
