The alleged bar brawl is thought to have broken out in the early hours of Wednesday morning, at Philadelphia’s Che Bar & Grill. Nicki herself was not in attendance at the time.

According to the news site, De’Von and Eric were with three friends, when an argument broke out with another group of men in the same bar, one of whom pulled out a knife, stabbing them both “several times”.

Rihanna has also paid her respects to De’Von, having previously worked with him while appearing on Kanye West’s ‘Glow In The Dark’ tour.
