Chris Brown Pleads Not Guilty To Multiple UK Assault Charges

Chris Brown has pleaded not guilty to two additional charges in a London court related to a 2023 nightclub assault case involving music producer Abraham Diaw. The charges include assault causing actual bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon, specifically a tequila bottle allegedly used in the incident at Tape nightclub. Brown, who was arrested in Manchester in May and released on a £5 million bail, maintains his innocence and is scheduled to stand trial alongside co-defendant Omololu Akinlolu in October 2026. Despite these legal challenges, Brown continues his international tour under strict bail conditions, including surrendering his passport. The case follows previous pleas of not guilty to a more serious charge of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm. Fans showed support for Brown during his court appearances, highlighting the ongoing public and legal scrutiny surrounding the singer.
