Singer Chris Brown given suspended sentence over bottle attack at London club
The court said CCTV showed Brown striking Abraham Diaw with a tequila bottle, and prosecutors dropped more serious assault charges in a plea deal.
- On Monday, R&B superstar Chris Brown received an eight-month suspended prison sentence at Southwark Crown Court for a 2023 nightclub bottle attack, avoiding immediate jail time after pleading guilty to affray.
- The incident occurred at Tape, a private members' club in Mayfair, when Brown struck music producer Abraham Diaw with a "heavy square shaped tequila bottle" during a 20-second altercation.
- Judge Tony Baumgartner sentenced Brown's vocal coach, Omololu Akinlolu, to a four-month suspended term, telling the pair, "Violence of this kind in a crowded nightclub is serious."
- Brown previously faced up to three years in prison but remained free on £5 million bail, allowing him to tour North America and Europe before his arrest in Manchester.
- Since rising to stardom in 2005, the Grammy-winning singer has faced repeated legal challenges following his 2009 felony conviction for assaulting Rihanna, though he won a Grammy for "11:11 " in 2025.
