American singer, Chris Brown has pleaded not guilty to fresh charges connected to an assault case.
Naijaonpoint recalls that the fight happened in a London nightclub on February 19, 2023.
Brown, alongside another US citizen, Omololu Akinlolu, aka HoodyBaby, were accused of attacking a man with a bottle at Tape, a private club in Hanover Square, during Brown’s UK tour.
The victim was said to have been struck with the bottle, chased, punched and kicked during the incident.
During the court session on Friday, Brown denied charges of causing actual bodily harm and carrying a bottle as a weapon in public.
According to AFP, he had earlier pleaded not guilty to a more serious charge of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent.
Akinlolu also pleaded not guilty to the same charges.
Police had arrested Brown in Manchester in May 2025, shortly after he landed in the UK.
He was kept in custody for several days before being released on bail.
He is currently out on bail for £5 million and is required to return for future court sessions or risk losing the bail money.
Despite the court case, Brown has been allowed to continue his world tour, which started in Amsterdam on June 8.
The next court hearing has been scheduled for 24 October.
