MMVA Drama: Perez Hilton Gets Boom Boom Pow'd and Drake AfterParty Shooting?

The actual award show sucked, but the drama afterwards has me up posting like a crazy person. God bless the internet. Twitter has been going crazy for the past couple of hours. One of the major after parties was the official Drake after party at Century Room. For all of you that don't know, Century Room is considered to be a more upscale club and typically doesn't have too many urban (read: black) people party there. But of course, if you put Drake's name on the bill expect the man and gyal dem.

Anywhoo, I was receiving tweets that the club owners/promoters wanted Future the Prince (the main DJ) to switch the tunes because it was a little to much hip hop and that's when the vibes sort of switched up. To make a long story short, apparently there was a shooting that sent people fleeing left right and centre. ETF (Emergency Task Force, which is the Canadian version of SWAT) came through and cleared out the place. Party done.


Then in other news Perez Hilton himself tweeted that :

I'm in shock. I need the police ASAP. Please come to the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel now. Please.
8 minutes ago from Sidekick

I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke.
6 minutes ago from Sidekick

Really? Never knew Will.I.Am was moving like that. I wonder what that conversation was like? Will.I.Am punched Perez Hilton in the face. How did we go from partying it up at Ultra, enjoying the weather and the awards to a fist fight? The story is still unfolding, but so far so damn good in my book.

P.S. the above photo is not from last night, it's just an archive photo

UPDATE: Tila Tequila (who is also in town for the awards) tweeted that she received texts from Will.I.Am himself that he did not punch Perez Hilton out. This is the first text :
If you care here are the two other text messages Will.I.Am apparently sent Tila:
Text #1 and Text #2

UPDATE#2: Will.I.Am has taken to the internet via vlog. He posted a video message about "what really happened". He says he didn't punch Perez in the face. Says that Perez was being very rude and insulting and that some fans attacked Perez after he called Will.I.Am a faggot.


About 1 hr ago, Perez decided to vlog about his side of the story and he is sticking to the fact that it was indeed Will.I.Am who punched him in the face and made him bleed. The video is hella long, he is basically agreeing with what Will.I.Am is saying up until the physical altercation. He agreed that he said some stuff that could've gotten them upset but says that "Will.I.Am is a coward and a liar" and maintains that he hit him after he was "shouldered" and "pushed" by a member of the Black Eye Peas' entourage. Best line at 11:03 , an angry "FUCK YOU WILL.I.AM!!!" To watch the video you can check out Perez's website here

Regarding the Drake event at Century Room there were NO shots were fired at all. A man was arrested out front of the club with a gun. ETF was called and it got very ugly on King Street.

Thankfully no one was hurt. I witnessed the entire ordeal from across the street.
