From Knicks in five to 86’d!
Page Six has previously reported that rapper Travis Scott was booted from a starry party at an ultra-exclusive private club Saturday night after getting involved in bottle-throwing melee.
But as more details emerge, it’s beginning to seem that NBA champ Knicks star Jordan Clarkson was somehow involved in the chaos as well.
Melees being melees, however, it’s very hard to tell how, exactly, he was involved in the scene at chicken chain Raising Cane’s World Cup party.
Some sources tell us Clarkson accidently started a confrontation with Scott by rambling slightly incoherently on the mic, some tell us Scott was trying to protect Clarkson from other would-be assailants, and yet other sources say that Scott and Clarkson were each involved in their own dramas that just happened to reach a boil at the same moment and get them both booted.

Either way, everyone seems to agree that Clarkson had got on stage with the evening’s performer, 50 Cent, and things got a bit, er, weird.
One source tells us, “Clarkson was going crazy. He got on stage, took the mic, he was all over the room.”
Another tells us that Clarkson was talking smack about someone from the stage though it was unclear who the insults were directed at.
“Clarkson was trying to show love, he was saying ’50 is my family, we’ve been running things,'” says another source. But then, we hear, “He was talking sh*t generically, but we don’t know to who… He was clearly dissing somebody or dissing a group of people.”
A fourth source tells us that Clarkson confused the audience when he “gave a awkward speech about Biggie and Tupac. He was doing East Coast West Coast. . . It went from talking sh*t to Biggie.”
We’re told some others at the party — which drew guests like Venus Williams and Serena Williams, Christina Aguilera, Teyana Taylor, Alix Earle, Lindsey Vonn, Tate McRae, Devin Booker and Logan and Jake Paul — even became uncomfortable.
Right around the same time, and possibly for related reasons, “Sicko Mode” rapper Scott got involved in a spectacular spat.
We hear bottles flew, though it’s not clear if Scott himself started volleying the glassware of if others in his crew did.
“It all happened really fast,” said an insider, “It started fast and broke up really quickly.”
Some sources said Clarkson tried to diffuse the situation.
A video obtained by TMZ shows the violence erupting as Fiddy performs classic “In Da Club.” The rap legend cuts the music as the scuffle breaks out.
Reps for Clarkson, 50 Cent and Raising Cane’s did not respond to request for comment.
