Singer Chris Brown denies lesser 'bottle attack' charge
US singer Chris Brown has 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 in June 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 October 26, 2026. About 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 Stg5 million ($A10 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.

Singer Chris Brown pleads not guilty to assault in UK
Grammy-winning singer Chris Brown has pleaded not guilty to a charge related to the serious beating of a music producer with a bottle in a London nightclub in 2023. Brown, 36, pleaded not guilty in Southwark Crown Court on Friday to one count of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent. Brown's friend and fellow musician Omololu Akinlolu, 38, who performs under the name Hoody Baby, pleaded not guilty to the same charge. Prosecutors said Brown and Akinlolu assaulted producer Abe Diaw at a bar in the Tape nightclub in the swanky Mayfair neighbourhood in February 2023. Brown allegedly launched an unprovoked attack on Diaw and hit him several times with a bottle and then punched and kicked him. The attack was caught on surveillance camera in front of a club full of people, prosecutors said. Brown was released in May on Stg5 million ($10 million) bail, which allowed him to start his world tour earlier in June. Brown, who burst onto the music scene as a teen in 2005, won his first Grammy for best R&B album in 2011 for F.A.M.E. and earned his second in the same category for 11:11 (Deluxe) earlier in 2025. His hits include songs such as Run It, Kiss Kiss and Without You. His tour is due to begin on June 8 in Amsterdam in the Netherlands before starting North America shows in July.
