Tory Lanez was reportedly on the scene of an alleged fight between Celina Powell and Kaylin Garcia.

It's only Monday and things are already kicking off for Tory Lanez. According to a report made by TMZ, the singer has been named in a police report regarding an alleged altercation that went down between Celina Powell and Kaylin Garcia. If either of these ladies' names sounds familiar it's because they aren't strangers to controversy. Celina Powell is known for airing out her alleged sexual romps with celebrities in graphic detail, while Kaylin Garcia had a short stint on reality television when she was featured on Love & Hip Hop years ago while dating Joe Budden.

TMZ reports that the altercation began while Celina was outside of Tory's Miami condo. She claims she lives in the same building but had never seen Tory face to face before this day. Somehow, she and Tory got into an argument and he allegedly attempted to take her phone from her. Then, according to the outlet, Kaylin Garcia "blindsided" Celina after she "approached Powell from behind, wrapped an arm around her shoulder and neck, and yanked her to the ground. Powell told cops Garcia tried to kick her too ... but she was able to roll over and get up."

Celina Powell further claims that she had "blacked out" during the fight and awoke to find everyone had left. Surveillance footage showing Tory, Kaylin, and Tory's bodyguard leaving in his Bentley exists, but there's nothing that shows the alleged violent altercation. Celina would later tell police that Tory was angry because she'd made comments about his hairline and kept trying to hit him up on social media.

No arrests were made in connection with the altercation and Celina Powell was treated for her injuries at a nearby hospital. TMZ claims to have spoken with sources close to Tory and they blamed the event on Celina harassing the singer.
