Chris Brown released on bail - but must pay £5m security fee
- In May 2025, a British judge at Southwark Crown Court set bail at $6.7 million, allowing Grammy-winning singer Chris Brown to be freed while awaiting trial.
- Brown was charged in connection with an alleged deliberate assault that seriously injured music producer Abe Diaw during an incident at a Mayfair nightclub in February 2023.
- Prosecutor Hannah Nicholls stated Brown struck Diaw multiple times with a bottle, punched, and kicked him in front of many clubgoers and on surveillance video.
- Judge Tony Baumgartner ruled that Brown may proceed with his world tour beginning June 8 in Amsterdam, including multiple dates in the UK, provided he posts $6.7 million bail to ensure his return to court.
- Brown and fellow musician Omololu Akinlolu, also charged, must both appear in court again on June 20, and Brown's case remains pending with potential impact on tour plans.
