Chris Brown arrived at Southwark Crown Court in a brown suit and was met by supportive fans before attending his hearing, which marks the latest chapter in his ongoing legal issues. After being arrested in May at a hotel in Greater Manchester, he spent nearly a week in custody before securing his release by agreeing to a £5m security fee to ensure his appearance in court. As part of his bail conditions, Brown has surrendered his passport but is expected to continue his Breezy Bowl XX tour, which has already kicked off in Amsterdam and will continue across Europe and North America. Alongside him, co-defendant Omololu Akinlolu, also known as HoodyBaby, has pleaded not guilty to the same charges.

Alongside these charges, Brown also faces a more serious count of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH), to which he has also pleaded not guilty. A trial is set for October 2026, as the singer navigates his legal challenges while touring across Europe.
