Chris Brown Guilty Plea in London Club Attack
24 Jul
Summary
- Chris Brown pleaded guilty to affray, a lesser charge.
- Serious assault charges against Brown were dropped.
- Sentencing is scheduled for September 26 in the UK.
Singer Chris Brown admitted to a charge of "affray" during a court hearing on Friday, related to an alleged attack at a London nightclub in February 2023. The more serious charges, including assault, grievous bodily harm, and possession of an offensive weapon, were dropped.
Brown and his co-defendant, Omololu Akinlolu, had previously pleaded not guilty to these charges. The affray charge states that their combined actions would cause reasonable fear for personal safety. Both defendants were released on bail and are scheduled to return to the UK on September 26 for sentencing, with a potential maximum of three years imprisonment.
Crown Prosecution Service prosecutor Claire Campbell described the incident as a "vicious and unprovoked attack" where a glass bottle was allegedly used as a weapon. The victim, music producer Amadou Diaw, had previously filed a $16 million lawsuit against Brown, which he later dropped in June 2025. The circumstances of any potential settlement remain unclear.
