Grammy-winning singer Chris Brown has been given an eight-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, after pleading guilty to affray over a 2023 nightclub attack in London. The incident occurred at the Tape nightclub in Mayfair, where Brown struck Abraham Diaw twice in the head with a tequila bottle, with video footage shown in court. Judge Tony Baumgartner described the repeated use of the glass bottle as 'plainly dangerous' and emphasized that Brown's fame does not entitle him to special treatment.
Brown's vocal coach, Omololu Akinlolu, also pleaded guilty to affray and received a four-month sentence, suspended for 12 months. Both were ordered to pay £1,500 in costs. Charges of assault, grievous bodily harm, and possession of an offensive weapon were dropped following the guilty pleas. Brown, 37, was in court at Southwark Crown Court on October 26, 2026, wearing a mask, glasses, and a cap.
