Chris Brown pleads guilty to affray after altercation at London nightclub

Chris Brown has pleaded guilty at Southwark Crown Court today (24 July) to affray.

This relates to the allegation he had attacked a former friend at the Tape private members' club in Mayfair, London, back in 2023.

The singer had been due to face a jury trial on 26 October after pleading not guilty in June last year. He had faced a charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm against Abraham Diaw and also denied having an offensive weapon as well as a charge of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm.

These charges have now been discounted and Brown will be sentenced on 26 October for the affray charge.

He showed up to Southwark Crown Court today for the case management hearing wearing a tan suit, gold-rimmed sunglasses and a baseball hat. The 37-year-old waved at fans outside who were playing his music, shouting his name and holding signs.
