Singer Chris Brown has pleaded guilty to brawling after a ‘vicious and unprovoked attack’ with a bottle on a music producer at a London nightclub.
The 37-year-old R & B singer had been facing trial later this year after he hit a former friend twice over the head on the dancefloor at the Tape private members’ club in Mayfair in 2023.
But a charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm against victim Abraham Diaw was dropped along with two charges of possessing a bottle in a public place and attempting to cause grievous bodily harm.
The musician signed autographs for a handful of fans as he left Southwark Crown Court following the short hearing.
His vocal coach, Omololu Akinlolu, 40, also pleaded guilty to the same. The pair will be sentenced on October 26.
Police spokesperson, said: ‘This was a disgraceful, unprovoked assault that put a man in hospital.
‘There is no place for serious violence like this in London and I’m pleased these men accepted what they did wasn’t just completely unacceptable – but criminal.
‘This has been a long investigation and we’ve worked with police colleagues in the UK to bring these two men to justice.’
Chris Brown also has a previous conviction for beating his former girlfriend, fellow pop star Rihanna.
