Chris Brown has claimed the police have been called into the middle of his beef with model Tyson Beckford.

Throughout Sunday the two men exchanged thinly veiled references to each other on social media.

While Chris deleted tweets from his social media feed where he appeared to threaten supermodel, he later posted a picture of a large police presence, insinuating the 44-year-old had called the police.

Problems between the two appear to have stemmed from a selfie Tyson took on Saturday of him posing with Chris' ex Karrueche Tran.  

Karrueche, who split with Chris after it was revealed he had fathered a child with another woman during their relationship, was in Las Vegas at the same time as former runway model Tyson.

The handsome man shared his selfie with the young model with the caption: 'Saturday with @Karrueche #vegas #palms #blasian'.

The following day, Chris tweeted (it has since been deleted): 'Be in Vegas soon. Keep playing ima f*** ya baby momma and then whoop yo child like he mine.' 

The Fine China singer included another note on his Twitter feed (which has also been subsequently deleted): 'U wanna keep walking them runways. I need ta legs for that. Keep playing like I ain't wit the bulls**t'.

Then a few hours later, in an apparent response, Tyson, 44, shared a video on his Instagram account of himself shooting an AR15 (a high powered assault rifle) with the caption, 'Just in case you forgot!'

Then, as if goading Chris, wrote on twitter: '@officialchrisbrown it's all about fun in vegas. Come thru papa.' 

Not done there he then took to Facebook, posting a video  denying he was afraid.

The model said: 'You n***s are on my dick right now, you think I'm scared of y'all, really?'

But while Tyson may have pretended to have the firepower, the singer certainly has the man power behind him.

The Forever hitmaker was joined in Sin City on Sunday by a big group of people including his good friend, Kid Red, who also weighed in on the drama via Instagram.

He wrote: 'MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND aka the n***as will be out. We just came to party tho, unless a n***a wanna try us…

'And that includes u model n***as "Cough Cough #TysonBeckford. We see everything LiL n***a." #DontPlayYaSelf. …@tysoncbeckford'

The post was apparently deleted by Instagram, as Kid Red then followed up with another photo showing him, Chris, and their friends.

He captioned this one: 'They deleted my last post LoL ... That's how they do the real n****s. I know one thing The Wolves is in Vegas'.

Chris and Karrueche split earlier this year over revelations he fathered a now 11-month-old daughter – named Royalty – with another woman.
