Chris Brown met by cheering fans after pleading guilty to affray over ‘vicious and unprovoked’ bottle attack

Chris Brown was met by cheering fans as he left Southwark Crown Court after admitting affray over a “vicious and unprovoked” bottle attack at a central London club.

The R&B singer had been facing trial later this year after he hit a former friend twice over the head with a bottle on the dance floor at the Tape private members’ club in Mayfair in 2023.

On Friday (24 July), a charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm against Abraham Diaw was dropped along with two charges of possessing an offensive weapon - a bottle - in a public place and attempting to cause grievous bodily harm.

Brown’s vocal coach, Omololu Akinlolu, 40, has also pleaded guilty to affray.

As the 37-year-old left the court, a group of devoted fans cheered him on. “We love you,” one shouted.
