Chris Brown is back in cuffs. The “Residuals” singer was arrested early Thursday morning in Manchester, England, after allegedly hitting music producer Abe Diaw with a tequila bottle at a London nightclub in 2023.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed the arrest, stating that the 36-year-old singer was detained at the five-star Lowry Hotel on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.
The police investigation centers on an incident that took place at Tape London nightclub on February 19, 2023.
Detectives from the Central West Area Basic Command Unit are leading the case.
While Chris Brown’s reps have not responded to requests for comment, this arrest comes after Diaw filed a lawsuit against the singer in October 2023, claiming that Brown attacked him at the club with a bottle of Don Julio 1942.
According to the lawsuit, Brown allegedly struck Diaw over the head with the bottle, then proceeded to stomp on him and kick him in the neck, knocking him unconscious for 30 seconds.
The producer claimed he was left with severe injuries, including lacerations on his head and torn ligaments in his leg.
He also accused Brown of defaming him by spreading false rumors, including calling him a thief, which he says damaged his professional reputation.
This isn’t the first time Brown has found himself in legal trouble.
The R&B singer has had multiple run-ins with the law throughout his 20-year career.
Back in 2009, he pled guilty to felony assault after a violent altercation with then-girlfriend Rihanna, which was a turning point in his career.
In 2017, his ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, was granted a five-year restraining order against him after he allegedly became aggressive toward her over money and gifts he had given her during their relationship.
Now, with another legal battle on his hands, Chris Brown’s future is up in the air.
This latest arrest could mean serious consequences, but only time will tell how it will affect his career.
Ironically, the news of Breezy’s arrest comes less than a day after he took to social media calling for Tory Lanez to be freed from jail.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as we continue to follow the case.
