Chris Brown pleads not guilty to new London nightclub assault charges involving bottle attack in 2023
Grammy-winning R&B artist Chris Brown pleaded not guilty Friday to two additional charges related to an alleged assault on a music producer at a London nightclub in 2023, according to the Associated Press. The 36-year-old singer denied charges of assault causing actual bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon — a bottle — during a brief appearance at Southwark Crown Court. The incident took place at Tape nightclub in the upscale Mayfair area in February 2023 and was reportedly caught on surveillance footage. Brown had previously pleaded not guilty to a more serious charge of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm during a court hearing last month. Wearing a light brown suit, Brown entered the courtroom as around 20 supporters watched from the public gallery. Several gasped when the singer walked in. He is best known for hits like 'Go Crazy,' 'Run It,' and 'Kiss Kiss.' Brown's co-defendant, fellow musician Omololu Akinlolu, 39, also pleaded not guilty to one count of actual bodily harm during the same hearing. In May, Brown was released on bail set at £5 million (approximately $6.75 million), which allowed him to proceed with his 'Breezy Bowl XX' tour. After completing dates across Europe, he is scheduled to perform in Miami later this month before continuing his North American leg, including a two-night stop in Toronto. Brown rose to stardom in 2005 and has won two Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album — first in 2011 for F.A.M.E. and most recently for 11:11 (Deluxe) earlier this year. He is expected to return to court as the legal proceedings continue.

Chris Brown denies assault charges over alleged bottle attack at London nightclub
R&B SINGER CHRIS Brown has denied further charges over an alleged bottle attack at a London nightclub. The American musician, 36, pleaded not guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm to Abraham Diaw at the Tape venue, a private members' club in Hanover Square, Mayfair, on 19 February 2023. He also denied having an offensive weapon – a bottle – in a public place. Brown denied the more serious charge of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm at a previous hearing. His co-defendant, US national Omololu Akinlolu, 39, also denied assault occasioning actual bodily harm today. They sat side-by-side in the dock, looking straight ahead during the hearing at Southwark Crown Court. Around 20 fans sat in the public gallery behind the dock, with several gasping as the singer walked into court. Brown turned to face his supporters at the end of the hearing, waving and blowing them a kiss. Advertisement 'I love you, Chris,' one of them said. A date for a five to seven-day trial has been set for 26 October 2026. The Go Crazy singer was able to continue with his scheduled international tour after he was freed on conditional bail in May. He had to pay a £5 million security fee to the court as part of the bail agreement, which is a financial guarantee to ensure a defendant returns to court and may be forfeited if they breach bail conditions. Manchester Magistrates' Court heard previously that Diaw was standing at the bar of the Tape nightclub when he was struck several times with a bottle, and then pursued to a separate area of the nightclub where he was punched and kicked repeatedly. Brown was arrested at Manchester's Lowry Hotel at 2am on 15 May by detectives from the Metropolitan Police. He is said to have flown into Manchester Airport on a private jet in preparation for the UK tour dates. Brown was released from HMP Forest Bank in Salford, Greater Manchester, on 21 May. Shortly after being released from prison, Brown posted an Instagram story referencing his upcoming tour. It said: 'FROM THE CAGE TO THE STAGE!!! BREEZYBOWL.'
