Chris Brown Reportedly Arrested in the UK Over Nightclub Incident
American singer Chris Brown is making headlines again—this time, not for his music.
The 36-year-old artist was reportedly taken into custody in the early hours of Thursday while staying at a hotel in Manchester. Though police didn’t release a name, multiple UK outlets like The Sun and The Daily Telegraph linked the arrest to Brown.
According to reports, authorities are investigating an alleged incident that took place in February 2023 at a nightclub in London’s upscale Mayfair area. The claim? That Brown allegedly assaulted music producer Abe Diaw with a bottle during a night out at Tape, a well-known hotspot.
The Manchester hotel where he was staying—known for its luxury—was the scene of the early morning arrest. The police confirmed that a man matching Brown’s age was taken into custody around 2 a.m. and is currently being held as investigations continue.
Brown had just arrived in the UK on Wednesday, reportedly landing in Manchester by private jet. He’s scheduled to hit the stage for several performances across Britain in the coming weeks.
The singer, who rose to fame as a teenager with his smooth vocals and chart-topping hits, has had a turbulent past. In 2009, he was convicted in a widely publicized case involving then-girlfriend Rihanna, which cast a long shadow over his career.
While fans were gearing up for his upcoming shows, this latest development has sparked a fresh wave of headlines—reminding many that controversy and Chris Brown have often shared the same spotlight.
