Chris Brown and Frank Ocean Involved in Brawl
Chris Brown allegedly punched fellow R&B singer Frank Ocean this past Sunday night. The altercation took place at a West Hollywood recording studio and allegedly escalated into a brawl after a disagreement about a parking spot.
Not long after the fight, Ocean tweeted, “got jumped by chris and a couple guys…cut my finger now I can’t play w [sic] two hands at the grammys.”
Ocean was reportedly taken to the hospital after the fight and Brown was spotted wearing a hand cast this Tuesday.
Brown was allegedly the aggressor in this altercation which isn’t great news considering the singer is still on probation for beating on-and-off girlfriend, Rihanna, in 2009. There was also a club brawl involving Brown and rapper, Drake, during the summer of 2012.
Police are reportedly investigating the brawl from this week and are planning to interview Chris Brown, Frank Ocean, and any witnesses.
