Jason Derulo was involved in a heated altercation after he was allegedly called the name of another R&B superstar by a passerby at a Las Vegas hotel, Fox News Digital has confirmed.
Local law enforcement sources said that at around 2:22 a.m., Las Vegas Metro Police Department officers responded to an altercation at a nightclub located at the famed ARIA Resort and Casino.
Police say the altercation began when Derulo, 32, “committed a battery against two individuals” who did not want to press charges against the singer/actor.
A rep for Derulo did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.
