Rappers brawl as Diddy allegedly punched Drake at a nightclub

RAP mogul Diddy put rising star Drake in his place, after he allegedly punched the young rap artist in a fight over money at a nightclub.

Both rap stars were at the infamous LIV nightclub in Miami, where the fight occurred at 4am outside the popular venue.

Witnesses told The New York Daily News that Diddy, aka Sean Combs allegedly punched Drake, 28, outside the Fountainbleau hotel.

“Drake definitely got the s**t kicked out of him,” according to Bullet magazine editor Ray LeMoine, who had been partying at the club.

He said he received text messages from people who were there.

“I heard they were taking him to the hospital.”

MZ.com reports the fight was triggered by Drake disrespecting Diddy by using music without permission, and Diddy confronted Drake just outside the club.

“(Diddy) had his security walk over to Drake’s table and let them know that Diddy wanted to talk to him outside around 4am,” a club insider told The New York Daily News.

Diddy said, “You will never disrespect me” ... and then allegedly punched him.

TMZ.com reports Diddy threw just one punch, leaving Drake stunned, but not knocked out.

But one witness told The New York Daily News that Diddy punched him three times.

It is understood that the fight was over in around 20 minutes, and Drake left the scene as Diddy returned to club and continued to party at a V. I. P booth.

Other sources have suggested the fight was sparked by Drake, who allegedly made an offensive comment to Diddy’s girlfriend, “Let’s Get Crazy” singer Cassie Ventura, but this could not be verified.

Diddy and Drake were at the club celebrating DJ Khaled’s birthday with Lil Wayne and other guests before the fight broke out.
