Chris Brown's Homie Says To Drake "Fu-k You!" We're Gonna k!ll You nicca!

One of Chris Brown's homies was throwing gang signs and making [rip] threats at Drake's entourage in the moments before the NYC nightclub brawl ... this according to several witnesses.

Eyewitnesses say ... Chris had been hanging out at his own VIP table with a posse of 16 other guys ... one of whom was a man with dreadlocks who was throwing gang signs and screaming at Drake's table. Witnesses say this man was the primary instigator in the brawl that would follow.

Among the verbal taunts, we're told the man yelled out, "Somebody's gonna die."

We're told the man also directed some of his anger at Drake's friend Meek Mill -- saying, "F**k you, we're gonna k!ll you n*gga."

As the man continued to spit venom, witnesses say Chris stood up and embraced him ... as if to say, "This is my guy."

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... it's possible the threats were captured on tape.

Here's the rub -- Brown's friend was acting as if he was[..]ociated with a gang .... which is significant because Chris is not allowed to[..]ociate with gang members as part of his probation in the Rihanna beating case.

So far, no arrests have been made.

How 18 witness accounts come out but the day of that say nothing like this...but then the next day this !! comes out...sounds fishy (no rihanna)

TMZ trying to incriminate.
By drawing attention hes not allowed to[..]ociate with Gang Members.

As long as meek milli gets outta there without a probation violation ill be happy.

this whole fight does not interest me.

yet you post in the thread [pic]

Y'all have a problem with Jews?
