The saga between Chris Brown and Drake was thought to be over late last year when police revealed neither star would face criminal charges over their nightclub brawl.
But new reports reveal the singers are now suing each other over the incident at New York's W.i.P club.
Court documents obtained by TMZ indicate neither party is claiming responsibility for the fracas on June 14, in the event a third party wins a suit filed against both men for damages suffered as a result over the fracas.

The website reports French model Romain Julien filed suit against both Brown and Drake, real name Aubrey Drake Graham, in August after sustaining injuries in the fight, which saw bottles flying between entourages at the club.
 

    According to MTV News, Julien claims he suffered a severed tendon in his right hand, lacerations, a cosmetic deformity and mental distress as a result of the incident.

    Newly-obtained filings show both Drake, 26, and Brown, 23, are asking a judge to blame the event on each other to avoid having to deliver on a potentially large payday should Julien win the suit. 
    It would mark the first time the musicians have sued one another.
    Last November police revealed they had no plans to file criminal charges over the incident after concluding their investigation.

    It is believed Brown – who is still on probation for assaulting Rihanna in 2009 - sent a bottle of champagne to Drake's table as a peace offering but it was returned with a note reading, 'I'm f*****g the love of your life, deal with it.'
    The gesture is then thought to have angered Brown and resulted in him confronting Drake, who allegedly threw a punch at his rival, leading to a brawl breaking out.
    Two other women who claim they were injured in the incident have filed suit, as has NBA player Tony Parker.

    The San Antonio Spurs player did not name Drake or Brown inc court documents hedged against owners of W.i.P. 
    Parker claims he suffered a corneal laceration to his left eye, among other injuries, and is seeking $20million in damages. 
    Club owners at W.i.P have pending litigation against Drake and Brown.
