Jason Derulo has hit headlines after he got into a fight with two people outside of a nightclub at the Aria Resort and Casino, Las Vegas. Police were called to the nightclub in the early hours of Tuesday, January 4 to reports singer, dancer, and TikTok star Durelo, 32, had "committed battery against two individuals."
