Rihanna consoled ex-boyfriend Chris Brown after bar brawl

Rihanna reportedly consoled Chris Brown after his bar brawl on Wednesday.

The Barbadian beauty is thought to have been the reason for the fight between Brown, rapper Drake and their entourages at New York's W.i.P nightclub - as she has dated both musicians - and sources say she was on hand to look after Brown's cut chin the following night.

A source told RadarOnline.com: "Chris and Rihanna hung out at Jay-Z's 40/40 Club all night and it was clear that she loved the attention he was giving her.

"Those two have a thing for each other that will never die, no matter what, and they're on their way to really being back together.

"Chris just adores her. And she tended to him, making sure the gash on his chin from the fight was okay."

Rihanna originally left Brown in 2009 after he assaulted her, leaving her badly bruised. It was shortly after that time she hooked up with Drake, which started the feud between him and Brown.

Rihanna has also taken to twitter to call for peace, somewhat cryptically writing: "When Jah gives you a desire for something, He will give u peace along with it... Wait for peace (sic).

"This morning should NOT be this rough... What is life? Is there any (sic)?"

On Friday Brown went to the police as a "witness and a victim" to give his side of the story.
