The reported victim, music producer Abe Diaw, claims Brown attacked him with a bottle during the alleged altercation. Brown remains free on a £5 million bond and will return to court in July.
The trial is set to begin in October 2026. On Friday (June 20), Chris Brown appeared at London’s Southwark Crown Court and pleaded not guilty to one count of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm. The “Residuals” singer’s charge stems from an alleged 2023 nightclub incident in which he was accused of attacking a music producer with a bottle.

“Not guilty, ma’am,” Brown, dressed in a navy-blue suit, told the court clerk when asked for his plea, according to NBC News. He also faces two additional charges — one count of assault and one of possessing an offensive weapon — and will enter pleas for those at his next hearing on July 11.
Until then, Brown remains free, with his trial set to begin on Oct. 26, 2026.
