Chris Brown pleads not guilty to new London nightclub assault charges involving bottle attack in 2023
Grammy-winning R&B artist Chris Brown pleaded not guilty Friday to two additional charges related to an alleged assault on a music producer at a London nightclub in 2023, according to the Associated Press. The 36-year-old singer denied charges of assault causing actual bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon — a bottle — during a brief appearance at Southwark Crown Court. The incident took place at Tape nightclub in the upscale Mayfair area in February 2023 and was reportedly caught on surveillance footage. Brown had previously pleaded not guilty to a more serious charge of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm during a court hearing last month. Wearing a light brown suit, Brown entered the courtroom as around 20 supporters watched from the public gallery. Several gasped when the singer walked in. He is best known for hits like 'Go Crazy,' 'Run It,' and 'Kiss Kiss.' Brown's co-defendant, fellow musician Omololu Akinlolu, 39, also pleaded not guilty to one count of actual bodily harm during the same hearing. In May, Brown was released on bail set at £5 million (approximately $6.75 million), which allowed him to proceed with his 'Breezy Bowl XX' tour. After completing dates across Europe, he is scheduled to perform in Miami later this month before continuing his North American leg, including a two-night stop in Toronto. Brown rose to stardom in 2005 and has won two Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album — first in 2011 for F.A.M.E. and most recently for 11:11 (Deluxe) earlier this year. He is expected to return to court as the legal proceedings continue.

US singer Chris Brown pleads not guilty to lesser assault charge in UK court, Entertainment News
LONDON - US singer Chris Brown on Friday (July 11) pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault causing actual bodily harm by allegedly attacking a music producer with a bottle in a London nightclub two years ago. Brown last month denied a more serious charge of attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm in what prosecutors said was an "unprovoked attack" on Abraham Diaw in a London nightclub in 2023. The 36-year-old appeared at London's Southwark Crown Court on Friday, where he spoke only to confirm his name and enter his pleas of not guilty to causing actual bodily harm and a further charge of possessing an offensive weapon in a public place. Brown's co-defendant Omololu Akinlolu, 38, also pleaded not guilty to the charge of causing actual bodily harm, having previously denied attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm. The pair's trial is due to begin on Oct 26, 2026. Around 20 supporters sat in the public gallery behind the dock during Friday's short hearing, with two saying "we love you, Chris" as he left the court. The R&B star, a two-time Grammy Award winner known for hits such as Loyal, Run It and Under the Influence, was granted bail in May after paying a 5 million-pound (S$8.6 million) security fee in order to begin his Breezy Bowl XX tour. Brown was arrested at a hotel in Manchester, northern England in May after returning to Britain for the first time since the incident two years ago. [[nid:719338]]
