Brown at Tape Nightclub on night of alleged assault in February 2023
He was arrested at the five-star Lowry Hotel in Manchester last week after flying into the city on a private jet.
The 36-year-old appeared at Manchester Magistrates Court on Friday charged with one count of grievous bodily harm.
District Judge Joanne Hirst said the case was 'too serious' to be dealt with in her court and remanded him in custody to appear at Southwark Crown Court next month.
Brown was today granted bail after a further application was made to the London court.
Judge Tony Baumgartner laid out a number of conditions the rapper must abide by.
He said the two-time Grammy winner must reside at an address known to the court.
A security of £5million must also be lodged with the court - and £4million of that must be provided before he can be released from custody.
Brown is banned from contacting his co-accused Omolulu Akinlolu, who was charged with GBH by the Met on Saturday.
He is also forbidden from contacting the complainant Mr Diaw or from attending the Tape Nightclub.
Mr Baumgartner moved Brown's Plea and Trial Preparation Hearing to June 20 to coincide with his co-defendant's appearance.

His cousin Mike Love, 84, said Wilson's 'musical gifts were unmatched' while Al Jardine described his bandmate as 'my brother in spirit'. Wilson was the eldest and last surviving of the three brothers who formed the American rock band with Love and school friend Jardine in 1961.
