American rapper Chris Brown has reportedly been arrested in connection with an alleged violent incident involving music producer Abe Diaw at a nightclub.
Reports indicate that Brown was taken into custody on Thursday, May 15, 2025, in Manchester, UK.
The arrest is linked to an event that occurred on February 19, 2023, at Tape nightclub in London’s Mayfair, where he is accused of assaulting Diaw by striking him with a bottle and physically attacking him.
This altercation resulted in Diaw requiring hospitalization and has led to a $16 million lawsuit against Brown for damages and defamation.
As of now, Chris Brown’s management has not commented on the ongoing reports regarding his arrest.
This incident occurs just before his scheduled ‘Breezy Bowl XX Stadium World Tour,’ which is set to begin on June 8, 2025, in Amsterdam.
Reports also state that the 36-year-old rapper was apprehended at The Lowry hotel in Manchester shortly after 2 am on charges of causing grievous bodily harm.
