Chris Brown Arrested in Connection With 2023 Assault, British Authorities Say
British prosecutors on Thursday arrested and charged Chris Brown, the R&B singer, with grievous bodily harm and are holding him in custody.
Brown, 36, was charged over an assault that reportedly took place at a venue in Hanover Square in London, on Feb. 19, 2023, according to the Metropolitan Police. He remains in custody and will appear at Manchester Magistrates' Court at 10 a.m. on Friday, the police said.
A news release from prosecutors gave no further details. Under British law, news outlets are not allowed to publish details of an incident that may prejudice any trial once someone has been charged.
'It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings,' the prosecution service said.
A lawyer and a talent agency that represents Brown did not immediately respond to emails and calls seeking comment on Thursday night.
Brown is known for his impeccable dancing skills, sultry love songs and catchy hooks that have landed him 17 Billboard Top 10 hits. Most of them were released between 2005 and 2015.

Bold and the Beautiful Must Watch Moments June 6: Bill Throws Luna A Curveball
The Bold and the Beautiful must-watch moments for Friday, June 6, include Luna's attempt to work her magic on Bill, but he throws her a surprising curveball. Plus, Sheila opens up to somebody unexpected — Poppy. Sheila lets Luna's mom know all her worries about the younger woman's recent behavior regarding Steffy. It promises to be a day full of drama, and you won't want to miss a moment of the show. Tune in to CBS or Paramount+ to watch. Although Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) was so very thrilled to learn about her new granddaughter, Luna (Lisa Yamada), she was furious at Poppy (Romy Park) for her part in creating the young woman. After all, the reason Luna exists is that Poppy slept with Finn (Tanner Novlan) when he was barely an adult. Sheila didn't think that was a great move on Poppy's part, and so she let Poppy know. That led to things getting intense between the two. Now, Sheila knows that Poppy is set on taking Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) out of the equation. Sheila tried so much to stop Luna from her downward spiral where Steffy was concerned. As for Luna, if it wasn't for Bill (Don Diamont), she wouldn't even be free from prison to ignore her grandmother's warnings about Steffy. Luna managed to get him to help her get released to his care, which set this whole drama in motion. Nobody in Los Angeles (except perhaps Sheila) was happy with Bill's decision to help Luna out, either. MORE: Here's what you must watch this week on B&B.

Why Fans Think Triple H Could Be Leaving WWE
Amid recent exits and contracts ending, fans are wondering whether Triple H could be the next major name leaving WWE. With multiple superstars, including R-Truth, Carlito, and Valhalla, parting ways with the company, and TKO's leadership, particularly The Rock, playing an increasingly visible role, speculation is circulating about backstage tensions. Is Triple H leaving WWE soon? As of now, it isn't officially confirmed whether Triple H is leaving WWE anytime soon. Advertisement In recent weeks, longtime fan-favorites R-Truth, Carlito, and Valhalla confirmed that their WWE contracts won't be renewed. The news shocked many, especially R-Truth's exit, which struck a nerve with loyal viewers. These cuts aren't isolated. They're part of a pattern ever since WWE merged with UFC under TKO Group. Fans see them as cold, corporate decisions, far removed from the kind of wrestling-first approach Triple H is known for. Moreover, according to reports from Dave Meltzer, it was Triple H who made the final call on R-Truth and Carlito's exits. That decision has left people wondering whether he is acting out of personal conviction. The alternative theory is that he's under serious pressure from the new regime. Wrestling veteran Vince Russo recently voiced a theory that's gaining traction: Triple H could be the next one out. On his Coach & Bro podcast, Russo speculated that frustration with TKO and The Rock's growing influence might push Triple H to leave WWE. 'What if Triple H is the one who says, 'You won't what? Making me cut people. Making me walk around with a smile on my face when The Rock waltzes in and takes over anytime he wants.'' Russo emphasized that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are financially secure, suggesting they don't need WWE to sustain their lifestyle. He also shared that when you're inside the machine, sometimes 'all the money in the world doesn't matter.'

Belinda's ‘Indómita' Album & More Best New Music Latin
New Music Latin is a compilation of the best new Latin songs and albums recommended by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors. Check out this week's picks below. Belinda, (Warner Music México) More from Billboard Jon Bellion Was Tired of Songwriters Getting 'Paid F-king Dirt' - So He Flipped the Script With 'Father Figure' Elvis Crespo, Elena Rose, Kapo & More: Vote for the Best New Latin Music This Week The Weeknd Wanders Through Purgatory in 'Baptized in Fear' Music Video When Belinda received the Evolution Award at the 2025 Billboard Latin Women in Music gala, she made it clear that 'Belinda isn't a musical genre.' During a career that spans 25 years, she's navigated through pop, rock, electronic, cumbia, and most recently, música mexicana. 'My career is versatile…it's the perfect word to define my style,' she previously told Billboard. Best representing her fruitful and experimental growth in the industry, the Spain-born, Mexican-raised star dropped Indómita, her sixth studio album and debut set under Warner Music. The 17-track album starts off with nine 'corridos coquettes,' where her alter ego 'Beli Bélica' shines in collaborations with genre hitmakers Natanael Cano ('300 Noches'), Tito Double P ('La Cuadrada'), and Xavi ('Mírame Feliz'). Across the next eight songs, she dabbles in trap music ('Death Note' and 'Silvana'); teams up with Netón Vega and Tokischa for two hard-hitting perreos ('+ Perra, + Bitch' and 'Wet Dreams'); and goes full dance in the Kenia OS-assisted 'Jackpot.' Other collaborators on the set include Alemán, Mala Rodriguez and Thirty Second to Mars. 'The [album's] title is very specific to a movement for women,' she explained of Indómita, which means 'untamed.' 'She's a warrior, independent, a woman who's out of the box, completely irreverent but at the same time strong, sexy, fun… all the things I like and that I am, and I'd like to convey that to people.' — JESSICA ROIZ Óscar Maydon, (Rancho Humilde) Excess, irreverence and romance collide in Óscar Maydon's Rico o Muerto, Vol. 1, a whirlwind of sierreño swagger that feels like a tequila-soaked fever dream. Across 12 tracks, the Mexicali artist channels the debauchery and drama of late-night escapades, weaving tales of fleeting romances ('Mr. Vallarta'), dismissal ('Para Ti') and indulgence ('ZAZA,' the only trap song). The party kicks off on 'Baja Beach,' a sun-drenched anthem named after the infamous Mexican festival, with Junior H and Fuerza Regida joining the revelry. 'Desvelada' turns up the nocturnal chaos alongside Peso Pluma and Netón Vega, while the focus track 'Asquerosamente Rico' with Peso takes playful opulence to new heights. On '2030,' Maydon rides solo, mixing carnivalesque accordion riffs with a pulsing electric bassline to deliver a debauched, dystopian glimpse into the future. The album is the right amount of star-studded that Luis R Conríquez and Gabito Ballesteros also join him on 'Fina Con Los Valentinos.' With pre-released hits 'Tu boda' and 'Amigos? No.' rounding out the collection, Rico o Muerto, Vol. 1 reaffirms Maydon's devil-may-care and romantic style. But more than a party album, it's a work where the unbridled fun and excitement feel as real as the early mornings it invokes. — ISABELA RAYGOZA Elvis Crespo, (Puntería Records) Merengue star Elvis Crespo delivers Poeta Herío, a term from Puerto Rican slang that translates to 'hurt poet.' The 13-track set showcases the vibrant essence of merengue, featuring lively rhythms and heartfelt lyrics encapsulating the joys and struggles of life through his music. The LP is a vibrant tapestry of tropical sounds, featuring an impressive roster of both legendary icons and rising stars. With Elvis Crespo at the helm, the project immerses listeners in his signature genres of spirited merengue, lively mambo and infectious bachata. This new chapter in Crespo's musical journey is fueled by collaborations with a diverse array of artists such as Ivy Queen, Jerry Rivera, Toño Rosario, Tony Tun Tun and Víctor Manuelle. Standout tracks include 'Cora Roto,' an emotionally charged song where Crespo unveils a gripping narrative of betrayal, where hidden truths come to light, revealing a harsh and unforgiving reality. This is followed by several heartfelt goodbye letters and concludes the album with a revamped version of his classic 'Nuestra Canción,' featuring Jerry Rivera. — INGRID FAJARDO Ozuna, 'Sirenita' (Nibiru International) Ozuna hasn't released an album in two years, so he could be setting the tone for a potential LP with the two singles he's released so far this year. His latest, 'Sirenita,' is a vibrant fusion of Afrobeats and the Puerto Rican hitmaker's signature rhythmic-leaning urban production, which serves as the perfect canvas for his sweet and delicate vocals. The lyrics to 'Sirenita' — which tell the story of a girl who's stolen Ozuna's heart — are a testament to Ozuna's knack for writing sensitive, romantic songs. 'Sirenita' serves as the lead-up to Ozuna's summer tour in Europe that will kick off on June 20 in Milan and span over ten cities across the continent. — GRISELDA FLORES Elena Rose, Sistek & Mazzarri, 'SINTIGO' (Warner Music Latina) Accompanied by producers Sistek and Mazzarri, Elena Rose releases 'SINTIGO,' an evocative track with an electronic vibe that explores the emotional contradiction of wanting someone to stay but also wanting them to leave. 'How do I tell you? My life without you makes no sense,' the artist sings over a subtle fusion of house with Afrobeats, resulting in a delicate yet euphoric soundtrack for summer. 'SINTIGO' – a Spanish play of the words 'Sin ti' (without you) and 'Contigo' (with you) – is the first preview of the Venezuelan singer-songwriter's highly anticipated debut LP, following her 2024 EP En Las Nubes – Con Mis Panas. 'This is the first of everything,' Elena wrote on Instagram. 'A summer without drama is coming … full of beautiful things.' – SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS Adriel Favela, Eddy, 'KbrN InfeLiZ' (Fono) Adriel Favela's 'KbrN InfeLiZ,' the first single from his upcoming album Elysium, is a sad sierreño song powered by raw lyrics about a man who realizes that his lifestyle and emotional failings make him incapable of loving someone back the way he is loved. The sierreño-style guitars add an even more dramatic and profound touch to the track, in which the regional Mexican star is accompanied by Eddy, an emerging música mexicana artist who has previously collaborated with Gabito Ballesteros, Calle 24 and Ed Maverick. 'KbrN InfeLiZ' has the makings of an anthem for today's generation. – TERE AGUILERA Kapo, 'Korazong' (Sony Music Latin/La Industria) Kapo's 'Korazong' is a romantic declaration of love powered by a hypnotic Afrobeats sound. Written by the Colombian singer and produced by Gangsta, the song is distinguished by its poetic and sincere lyrics in which Kapo, with his unmistakable raspy voice, sings to that woman who came to heal his heart and transform it with love. Although it is still early to know if it will be his next hit, what is clear is that Kapo reaffirms his knack for authentic songs that touch the heartstrings and appeal to all types of listeners. — LUISA CALLE Check out more Latin recommendations this week below: Best of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart
