Moment Chris Brown has KFC and clothes delivered to police station where he was remanded in custody charged with attacking nightclub man
Chris Brown 's manager has been spotted hand-delivering KFC and a fresh set of clothes to the police station where the US rapper is being held in custody.
In the footage his long time friend and manager Anthony Wilson can be seen approaching Pendleton Police Station in Manchester after Brown was charged and remanded in custody there for allegedly attacking a man in a London nightclub in 2023.
The Grammy-winning artist was arrested at 2am last Thursday at the luxury five star Lowry Hotel – just hours after landing in the UK on a private jet.
The 36-year-old then appeared at Manchester Magistrates' Court the next day.
Brown is claimed to have injured music producer Abe Diaw in an unprovoked attack when the singer and his entourage were at a club night called 'Dirty Martini'.
The US rapper's world tour was schedule to begin on June 8 however the plans have since been thrown into chaos after he was told he will likely spend a month on remand.
His much-anticipated Breezy Bowl XX Tour, which celebrates his 20-year career, is due to kick off in Amsterdam on June 8 – but Brown will remain in custody ahead of a plea and trial preparation hearing scheduled at Southwark Crown Court in London on June 13.
Dressed in a black T-shirt and jogging bottoms, and sporting his signature peroxide-blonde hair, Brown only spoke in court to confirm his name, date of birth, and address while staying in the UK.
Hannah Nichols, prosecuting, told the court that the alleged assault took place on February 19, 2023, during a night out at Tape nightclub.
The court heard that Brown left the UK shortly after the alleged incident and had not returned until this month – more than two years later.
Brown had arrived at court in a blacked-out van at 7am on May 16 after his night in custody. His next hearing is on June 13.
The Met Police said in a statement: 'A 36-year-old man was arrested at a hotel in Manchester shortly after 02:00hrs on Thursday, 15 May on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. He has been taken into custody where he remains.
'The arrest relates to an incident at a venue in Hanover Square on 19 February 2023. The investigation is being led by detectives from the Central West Area Basic Command Unit.'
His new tour, which includes ten UK and Ireland dates, is now in serious doubt. He is set to perform in Manchester, Cardiff, London, Glasgow, and Dublin – with his Manchester Co-op Live Arena shows booked for June 15 and July 3.
Brown rose to fame at a young age with his rich R&B voice and later rap, and was also known for having a relationship with fellow music star Rihanna.
He released his debut album Chris Brown in 2005 and has since released a further ten studio albums and 64 singles.
Some of his biggest hits have included Run It!, Yo (Excuse Me Miss) and No Air, a collaboration with Jordin Sparks.
