Drake is normally more known for popping bottles, not throwing them. But last night, according to reports, Drizzy and his entourage were involved in an altercation with Chris Brown in a Manhattan nightclub. The brawl was apparently instigated by Meek Mill, and some say it was over Rihanna. Meek, Drake and Chris Brown have all dated or were rumored to have dated Rih Rih, and a couple weeks back the three had a Twitter row. But if the fisticuffs shocks you, you haven’t been paying attention: Rappers have been throwing down for decades now. Click on for more notable rap-related fisticuffs.

Yung Berg and Maino

What’s a rap fight list without at least one Yung Berg mention? Maino let his hands do the talking back in 2008, slapping Y.B. for “talking reckless” while the two were on tour together. “I feel like I did him a favor,” Maino later said of the incident. “I tried to sober him up cause something was wrong with him. What can I do? He’s a little kid…I disciplined him.”
