Chris Brown has ended his war of words with Drake.

The 23-year-old singer insists he no longer has "beef" with the 25-year-old rapper after the pair were involved in a brawl at a New York nightclub on June 14, which resulted in a number of people getting injured including professional basketball player Tony Parker.

"That situation has already been handled and Chris [has] no beef with [Drake]. We don't think about [him]. Drake who? That club s**t was what it was and Chris left that baggage back where it happened," a source close to Chris said.

Chris and Drake are both up for the Best Male Video prize at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) next month and while Brown has confirmed he will not be attending the event at the Los Angeles Staples Center, he insists his decision was nothing to do with Drake. "None of what's going on with the VMAs is because of Drake. You can believe that," the source added.
