Grammy-winning American singer Chris Brown has been formally charged in the United Kingdom with grievous bodily harm following an alleged unprovoked assault on a music producer at a London nightclub in 2023.
The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed on Thursday that Brown, 36, was arrested at a hotel in Manchester earlier this week. The charge stems from a reported incident involving producer Abe Diaw at the Tape nightclub in London’s upscale Mayfair district in February 2023, during Brown’s UK tour.
According to The Sun, which first broke the story, Diaw claimed he was hospitalized after Brown violently attacked him without warning. The outlet stated that they alerted authorities upon learning of Brown's presence in the country, prompting Metropolitan Police officers to act swiftly and arrest him in Manchester.
Brown, widely known by his stage name “Breezy,” was taken into custody and is scheduled to appear at the Manchester Magistrates’ Court on Friday morning.
As of press time, Chris Brown’s team has not issued any official statement regarding the incident.
The singer, who rose to fame with hits like “Run It,” “Forever,” and “Kiss Kiss,” won his first Grammy for Best R&B Album in 2011 with F.A.M.E. He recently added another Grammy for 11:11 (Deluxe) in 2024. Brown is also set to kick off a global tour next month alongside artists like Summer Walker, Jhene Aiko, and Bryson Tiller.
This legal development could have serious implications for his upcoming shows and public image.
