Usher allegedly leaves Chris Brown's birthday party with a BLOODIED NOSE following an argument
Chris Brown and Usher got into an alleged altercation that supposedly became violent during the former's 34th birthday party on Friday night.
According to TMZ, the rapper and the 44-year-old singer were both in attendance during the Look At Me Now songwriter's celebration, which took place at the Skate Rock City roller rink Las Vegas.
Sources spoke to the media outlet and expressed that the Yeah 3X singer, who recently mimicked a sex act during a festival appearance in Thailand, and the Grammy-winning performer had been friends for several years prior to the event.
Usher, who hosted the party, was also seen while singing Happy Birthday to Brown in a video that was shared to a partygoer's Twitter account.
However, the insiders stated that the No Guidance singer became incensed after he attempted to speak to Teyana Taylor, who was also present at the event, and she chose to ignore him completely.

A source spoke to Hollywood Unlocked, where the news about the incident was originally revealed, and expressed that the performer was 'disrespectful' to the actress during the party.
The insider also remarked that Brown was 'intoxicated' when he initially approached the 32-year-old singer.
Several sources spoke to lovebscott.com and expressed that the singer was upset about how his planned Michael Jackson tribute at the American Music Awards was canceled at the last minute.
Taylor was reportedly involved with the planned performance and ended up pulling out not long before the show, which caused the project to fall apart.
After she was approached by Brown, the singer remarked that he was 'on one' in an apparent reference to his intoxication, and he responded by asking Usher to make her leave his birthday party.
When the U Got It Bad singer reportedly attempted to mediate the situation, the rapper allegedly called him a 'coward' and exited the roller rink with his entourage.
The performer was said to have then followed his friend to the venue's parking lot in order to discuss the situation and calm him down.
However, a source spoke to lovebscott and expressed that 'CB [Chris Brown] and his crew beat Usher's a**.'
