Chris Brown Pleads Not Guilty To New Charges In London Assault Case

Chris Brown faced 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. Brown was picked up by authorities at a hotel in Manchester in May during his first time back in England following the incident.
