Chris Brown has been formally charged with intent to cause Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) following a violent incident at a London nightclub in 2023. On May 16, police arrested him at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester, and he remains in custody as the investigation continues. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), which handles criminal prosecutions in the UK, issued a statement on May 15 reminding everyone involved that Brown is entitled to a fair trial and warning against any public reporting or online commentary that could influence the case.
This charge relates to an October 2023 altercation involving music producer Amadou “Abe” Diaw, who accused Brown of attacking him with a tequila bottle at a London nightclub. According to court documents obtained by the media, Diaw was left unconscious on the floor while Brown allegedly stomped on him for around 30 seconds. The injuries sustained by Diaw included head lacerations and torn ligaments in his leg, requiring hospital treatment.
Details about the victim’s current condition or further specifics of the wounds have not yet been released. The case is expected to draw widespread media attention as it progresses. Chris Brown’s management has not yet commented publicly on the charges.
Chris Brown first rose to fame in 2005 with his debut album and hit songs like “Run It!” and “No Air” featuring Jordin Sparks. Over the years, he has released 11 studio albums and numerous singles. He is also well-known for his past high-profile relationship with pop star Rihanna and a history of legal troubles.
Brown is scheduled to appear at Manchester Magistrates’ Court on May 16, and this latest legal battle is expected to be closely watched by fans and the media alike.
