US singer Chris Brown has found himself in hot water once again, this time being arrested in the UK linked to a serious incident that took place at a London nightclub earlier this year. The singer, known for chart-toppers like "Ayo" and "Beautiful People," was detained in the early hours of Thursday at a hotel in Manchester, following reports of a bottle attack on music producer Abe Diaw during an altercation at Tape nightclub in Mayfair on February 19.
This arrest comes after a report by The Sun, which revealed that Met Police had been alerted about Brown's presence in the UK when he flew in via private jet. A representative from the Metropolitan Police confirmed that a 36-year-old man was taken into custody on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, although further details surrounding the situation have yet to be disclosed.
During the nightclub incident, Diaw claimed that Brown violently struck him with a bottle before continuing the assault by punching and kicking him while on the floor. The injuries he sustained were serious enough to require hospital attention, and Diaw mentioned that he was reliant on crutches after his release.
Brown, whose career has spanned two decades, remains a controversial figure but enjoys a devoted fanbase. As he prepares for several shows scheduled in the UK in June and July, the implications of this arrest on his ongoing tour remain uncertain.
