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.
