Brown reportedly took off to Manchester on a private jet on Wednesday. As the Met detectives learned about this, they also flew to Manchester to arrest him.
Back in October 2023, Diaw filed a lawsuit against Brown. He claimed that
Brown
"inflicted severe and lasting injuries" on him as he attacked him over the head with a bottle of Don Julio 1942 in February 2023 at the Tape London nightclub.
Diaw was taken to the hospital, and he even needed crutches to walk by the time he was discharged. The alleged attack took place when Brown was on the Ireland leg of his worldwide tour. The tour started in Dublin's 3Arena on February 11, 2023, eight days prior to the alleged incident.
However, this is not the first time Brown has gotten into
legal
trouble. Back in 2009, the singer pleaded guilty to brutally beating his then-girlfriend,
Rihanna
.
Not just that, in 2017, Rihanna was even granted a five-year restraining order against Brown.
Going by the reports, Brown allegedly became aggressive towards Rihanna for not giving back the money and gifts he had given her during the course of their relationship.

Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par becomes 5th highest-grossing film of his career
Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par has become a box office success, grossing Rs 149.89 crore in 18 days. The emotional drama, directed by R.S. Prasanna, is now Khan's fifth-highest-grossing film, surpassing Thugs of Hindostan and Ghajini. Its success marks a comeback for Khan and highlights the appeal of content-driven cinema, with expectations of reaching over Rs 160 crore. Aamir Khan has added yet another feather to his illustrious cap with Sitaare Zameen Par, which has raked in an impressive Rs 149.89 crore in just 18 days across all languages. Directed by R.S. Prasanna and also starring Genelia D'Souza, the emotional drama has now emerged as the 5th highest-grossing film of Aamir Khan's career, surpassing the lifetime collections of big-budget films like Thugs of Hindostan and Ghajini. Mohit Suri Spills On 20 Years In Bollywood - Ahaan & Aneet, Alia Bhatt Dream Collab & More Released in three languages—Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu—Sitaare Zameen Par opened to strong word-of-mouth and critical appreciation, especially for its heartwarming storytelling and performances. It witnessed a solid first weekend, earning Rs 10.7 crore on Friday, Rs 20.2 crore on Saturday, and peaking with Rs 27.25 crore on Sunday. Despite expected weekday drops, the film closed its first week with a robust Rs 88.9 crore. The second weekend held strong, with Saturday and Sunday contributing Rs 12.6 crore and Rs 14.5 crore respectively, and a total Week 2 collection of Rs 46.5 crore. The third weekend again showed the audience's continued interest, adding another Rs 13.3 crore over Friday to Sunday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Spacious 4 BHK Homes starting @ ₹ 5.25 Cr* on Dwarka E-Way Emaar India Get Quote Undo As of Day 18 (third Monday), Sitaare Zameen Par has reached Rs 148.89 crore, inching close to the Rs 150 crore milestone—a feat rarely achieved by a non-action, emotion-driven social drama in recent years. With this, the film has comfortably overtaken Thugs of Hindostan (Rs 145.55 crore), Ghajini (Rs 114 crore), and Talaash (Rs 93.61 crore) in Aamir Khan's career tally. It now trails behind only 3 Idiots (Rs 202.47 crore), Dhoom 3 (Rs 271.07 crore), PK (Rs 340.8 crore), and Dangal (Rs 374.43 crore)—all massive blockbusters with wide appeal and multi-week dominance. Sitaare Zameen Par marks a significant comeback for Aamir after the underwhelming performance of Laal Singh Chaddha (Rs 61.12 crore). It has not only reinstated his box office credibility but also reaffirmed his strong connect with family audiences, thanks to the film's emotional themes, inclusive narrative, and child-centric story. While it may not reach the heights of Dangal or PK, its entry into the top five is a clear testament to the power of content-driven cinema when backed by a trusted name like Aamir Khan. With limited competition in the coming days, Sitaare Zameen Par is expected to continue its steady run and possibly close its lifetime business above Rs 160 crore.

Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed Explain Their Reasons to Join the Ranks of Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman
Image via WWE At WrestleMania 41, Paul Heyman shocked the WWE Universe by betraying both Roman Reigns and CM Punk on the same night to align himself with Seth Rollins . In the weeks that followed, Rollins was joined by Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. While the group has been together since April 2025, they still don't have an official name. However, on the final episode of Raw before Evolution and Saturday Night's Main Event, fans finally got some answers. Breakker and Reed explained why they joined forces with 'The Visionary.' July 7th Edition of Raw: Focus on Rollins' New Faction The July 7th episode was all about Rollins and his crew. All three men were in action as Bron Breakker faced Sami Zayn, Bronson Reed faced Jey Uso, and Seth Rollins closed the show against Penta. Rollins opened the show, but before he could speak, Breakker snatched the mic from Heyman and cut a fiery promo. He declared that Rollins and Heyman had handpicked him to be the face of WWE for the next 20 years. Rollins and Heyman looked visibly stunned as Breakker continued, shifting focus to Sami Zayn. He insulted everything about the Canadian, ranging from his face, his beard, his entrance music, and even his in-ring ability. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gana un segundo ingreso con Grupo Energía Bogotá CFD Actualidad Empieza ahora Undo Breakker wrapped up by vowing to end Zayn later that night.

Now under Heyman's guidance, Reed said he's ready to prove himself and earn the respect he deserves, starting with a warning to Jey Uso. Later in the night, Breakker demolished Zayn with three brutal spears, but not before Karrion Kross interfered. Backstage, Breakker was furious about the interference, demanding to know why Kross got involved. The former IC Champion argued that he wanted to take care of his business on his terms. Rollins tried to calm him down and added that the job was done. That didn't sit well with Breakker, who shot him a sharp glare. Heyman then stepped in to break the tension, informing them that Sami Zayn is out indefinitely. That bit of news brought a smile to everyone's face, and the group shared a moment of celebration.
