Chris Brown Denies Charges in London Assault Case

U.S. singer Chris Brown appeared in court on Friday, where he pleaded not guilty to charges of attacking a music producer in a London nightclub. The alleged attack took place two years ago in what prosecutors describe as an 'unprovoked incident' inside the venue.

Brown, known for tracks like 'Loyal', 'Run It', and 'Under the Influence', faced the allegations at Southwark Crown Court in London. The 36-year-old R&B star has been charged with attempting to cause grievous bodily harm to Abraham Diaw, the music producer. Securing bail in May, Brown agreed to pay a £5 million security fee to continue his 'Breezy Bowl XX' tour.

The singer was placed under arrest in Manchester after returning to the UK for the first time since the alleged 2023 incident. Brown's plea sets the stage for a potentially high-profile legal battle in the British courts.
