Chris Brown Denies Two Additional Charges in London Court

Chris Brown’s Court Appearance

Grammy-winning artist Chris Brown attended a hearing on Friday, where he entered a not guilty plea concerning two additional charges. These charges stem from a serious incident involving the beating of a music producer in a London nightclub in 2023.

Brown, aged 36, previously denied a more serious allegation of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm during a court session last month. On this occasion, he also denied the charge of assault that resulted in actual bodily harm against Abraham Diaw at the upscale Tape nightclub in Mayfair, which occurred in February 2023.

Details of the Case

In the brief hearing at Southwark Crown Court, Brown, clad in a light brown suit, faced allegations of wielding a bottle as an offensive weapon in a public space. Approximately 20 fans gathered in the public gallery, visibly surprised as the performer of hits like “Go Crazy,” “Run It,” and “Kiss Kiss” made his entrance.

Joining him was co-defendant Omololu Akinlolu, 39, who also pleaded not guilty to claims of actual bodily harm during the same hearing. According to prosecutors, the incident was captured on surveillance cameras while a crowd filled the area around the club.

Current Developments

Following his release on bail of £5 million (approximately NZ$11.2 million) in May, Brown is set to continue his Breezy Bowl XX tour across Europe, with a return to North America scheduled for late July. His upcoming performances will include a stop in Miami, along with two nights in Toronto.

Chris Brown initially rose to fame as a teenager in 2005 and has since won multiple awards, including his first Grammy for Best R&B Album in 2011 for “F.A.M.E.” He earned his second Grammy earlier this year for “11:11 (Deluxe)” in the same category.
