Viewer Discretion Advised: Chris Brown's bodyguard suing Drake and SoHo's W.i.P. over last year's Club Fight



Chris Brown's beefy bodyguard is suing Drake and the SoHo nightclub where the hip-hop stars brawled last June, and used filing as an opportunity to take a swipe at the Canadian rapper.
Hired muscle Patrick Strickland snidely refers to Drake as "a popular and successful, albeit critically derided, entertainer," in his lawsuit filed Monday in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Strickland, 43, who hails from Queens Village, claims the hot spot, W.i.P., is responsible for the ugly head cut he suffered during the melee because it sat Brown's entourage and Drake's crew near each other, even though staffers knew the celebrities were beefing over sultry R&B songstress Rihanna.

The seating arrangement created "a substantial and unjustifiable risk that a mass altercation would occur between the two camps," the suit for an unspecified amount of damages states.
Moreover, the club over-served Drake and his posse, and had an employee hand Brown a note from Drake that read: "I'm f--king the love of your life," according to the Strickland suit.
The note allegedly led to a "verbal altercation" and that caused a "massive bar brawl that involved bottle throwing, possible gunshots and a general state of riot and disorder," the suit charges.

Strickland was hit in the head and required stitches, reports said at the time. The suit says he endured "severe and disfiguring injuries to his face, head and eyes."
