Singer Chris Brown Pleads Not Guilty in London Assault

  • Chris Brown, the 36-year-old Grammy-winning American artist, denied charges related to an alleged bottle attack causing serious injury during a court appearance in London on June 20, 2025.
  • The charge arises from an alleged attack on producer Abraham Diaw at London's Tape nightclub in Mayfair on February 19, 2023, involving Chris Brown and fellow musician Omololu Akinlolu, both of whom have denied the accusations.
  • Brown was taken into custody in Manchester in May and held for nearly a week before being released on £5 million bail. He was permitted to proceed with his world tour, which kicked off on June 8 with a performance in Amsterdam and includes stops throughout Europe and North America.
  • Prosecutors say surveillance footage captured Brown striking Diaw several times with a bottle, followed by punching and kicking, while Brown confirmed his plea with 'Not guilty, ma'am' in court.
  • Brown will return to court on July 11 for additional pleas, with trial set to begin October 26, 2026, while bail conditions require his compliance or forfeiture of the £5 million guarantee.
