Chris Brown Pleads Not Guilty to 2 Additional Charges in London Assault Case

Chris Brownfaced two new charges in a London assault case Friday morning … pleading not guilty to two additional counts stemming from a violent altercation two years ago in which a man’s head was smashed with a bottle in a nightclub.

The R&B singer arrived at London’s Southwark Crown Court dressed in a brown suit Friday morning to plead not guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm, and not guilty to possessing an offensive weapon in a public place — a tequila bottle.

This follows a court appearance last month when Brown pled not guilty to attempting to cause grievous bodily harm — the most serious of the three counts — in the same case … Brown’s accused of smashing the bottle over Abraham Diaw‘s head in February 2023 at TAPE nightclub.

Brown’s trial is slated to begin October 26, 2026. He is accused of attacking Diaw — a music producer — alongside co-defendant Omololu Akinlolu, who has also denied all charges against him.

As we reported … Brown was picked up by authorities at a hotel in Manchester in May during his first time back in England following the incident.

A judge released Chris on conditional bail after he turned over his passport and paid a fee that roughly equates to $6.7 million USD.

After the Grammy winner — who has a past history of physical violence, as you know — was arrested, Diaw’s attorney Ryan J. Daneshrad, confirmed his client is “pursuing all legal remedies to hold him accountable.”
