Diddy smacked Drake during a club brawl early Monday after a “nasty”comment lobbed at singer Cassie, sources say.
Tension at LIV nightclub in Miami Beach boiled over into a melee that some witnesses said ended with Drake in the hospital with a dislocated shoulder.
Sean Combs, formerly known as Puff Daddy, was sticking up for his 28-year-old girlfriend around 4 a.m. when he roughed up the 28-year-old Canadian crooner at the bash during Art Basel Miami.
“Drake definitely got the s--t kicked out of him," says Bullet magazine editor Ray LeMoine who'd been partying in Miami all week, only to get a flurry of texts Sunday from friends who'd stayed behind. "I heard they were taking him to the hospital."
The rappers were among a bevy of musicians celebrating DJ Khaled’s birthday late Sunday into the early morning hours Monday when the melee broke out, by some accounts outside the club.
“Diddy put hands on that boy … And he ain’t go 0-100 … That boy left,” wrote DJ Sam Sneak on Twitter, alongside an emoji of a sleeping face.
“Drake at the hospital smh,” he also wrote. “He dislocated his shoulder. “Yall pray for Drake.”
A spokesman for LIV declined to comment on the fight.
Other witnesses say the punches were thrown over rights to a certain song. Drake left the club after the two scuffled while Diddy stuck around and kept partying, the sources said.
It was just Sunday when R&B singer Chris Brown said he ended his relationship with model Karrueche Tran after she cheated on him with Drake - an accusation neither Tran nor Drake has confirmed or denied.
