\n\tLONDON \u2014 Chris Brown appeared in a London court on Friday (June 20) to plead not guilty to a charge of serious assault.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Grammy Award-winning singer is facing multiple charges in relation to an alleged physical dispute with a music producer. The alleged incident took place in a nightclub in Mayfair, London in February 2023.<\/p>\n

\n\tBrown has been charged with one count of unlawfully and maliciously causing grievous bodily harm with intent, and additional counts of assault causing actual bodily harm, and having an offensive weapon, a bottle.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 36-year-old artist appeared at Southwark\u2019s Crown Court in relation to the GBH count, and responded \u201cnot guilty, ma\u2019am\u201d to the court clerk when asked to enter his plea.<\/p>\n

\n\tBrown was arrested by police in Manchester on May 15 as he arrived in Europe for his Breezy Bowl XX tour which includes multiple stops in the U.K., including at London\u2019s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (June 21) and Manchester\u2019s Co-op Live (June 24, July 3).<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing his arrest, Brown was released on bail at $6.75 million and allowed to begin his Breezy Bowl XX European dates in Amsterdam (June 8). On May 21, Brown made his first public statement on the case, posting on his Instagram \u201cFROM THE CAGE TO THE STAGE!!!\u201d after spending a week behind bars in custody.<\/p>\n

\n\tBrown was ordered to return to court on July 11 to enter his plea on the additional counts. A trial date was set for Oct. 26. 2026.<\/p>\n

\n\tProsecutors allege that Brown and fellow musician Omololu Akinlolu, who performs under the name \u201cHoody Baby,\u201d assaulted producer Abe Diaw at Tape nightclub in London. It is alleged that Brown launched an unprovoked attack on Diaw, and hit him several times with a bottle and continued to punch and kick him. Akinlolu also pleaded not guilty to the same charge.<\/p>\n

\n\tBrown\u2019s Breezy Bowl XX\u2019s European leg will conclude in Portim\u00e3o, Portugal on July 9. He\u2019ll then tour North American stadiums through the summer, commencing at Miami\u2019s LoanDepot Park on July 30.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
