Breezy busted?

Following Sunday night's BET Awards, rumors were running rampant that Chris Brown was arrested backstage for illegally possessing a firearm.

Speculation subsequently surfaced that the R&B star was merely protecting himself against possible retaliation from Drake in the wake of their recent alleged bar brawl.

So was the singer really in hot water for packing heat?

Well, it looks like this rumor is...

So false!

Not only did E! News witness Brown out and about celebrating his Best Male R&B Artist win last night (see video above), but a rep for the singer also confirms there was no arrest of any kind.

Incidentally, Drake wasn't even at the show.
