Drake was denied entry to a nightclub because of Chris Brown.

The "Problem Solver" rapper - who is counter-suing the 23-year-old R&B star over a nightclub brawl in June - was turned away from Playhouse in Hollywood on Wednesday night because Chris was already inside celebrating fashion brand Popular Demand's anniversary party. A source told gossip website TMZ.com that bouncers denied Drake entry around midnight because they wanted to avoid any violence or possible incidents. The insider said the 26-year-old star reacted politely and left without any issues.

The singer, the rapper and their entourages were involved in a fracas at New York's W.i.P club, in June, in which several innocent bystanders were hurt and after French model Romain Julien filed lawsuits against them for his injuries, they are attempting to blame each other. Both claim they were not responsible for the fight and want the other to pay any damages if the model wins his suit. The fight is thought to have been caused by Rihanna, who has dated both of them.
