Grammy-winning singer Chris Brown pleaded not guilty on Friday to a charge that he beat and seriously injured a music producer with a bottle in a London nightclub in 2023.
At Southwark Crown Court, Brown, 36, entered a plea of not guilty to a charge of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
Similarly, Omololu Akinlolu, 38, a fellow musician and friend of Brown known on stage as “Hoody Baby,” also pleaded not guilty to the same accusation.
According to prosecutors, the incident involved Brown and Akinlolu allegedly attacking producer Abe Diaw at a bar located in the Tape nightclub in Mayfair in February 2023.
Brown allegedly launched an unprovoked attack on Diaw and hit him several times with a bottle and then punched and kicked him.
The attack was caught on surveillance camera in front of a club full of people, prosecutors said.
