Chris Brown and rapper HoodyBaby have both been arrested and charged with attacking music producer Abe Diaw at Tape nightclub in Mayfair, Central London, in February 2023. Brown was charged with suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. HoodyBaby has been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent.
Diaw claims Brown attacked him without provocation and hit him over the head with a tequila bottle before punching and kicking him. It is unclear what role HoodyBaby played in the alleged attack. Breezy was initially denied bail, which threatened the start date of his tour.
According to U.K. news outlet The Sun, Diaw has also filed a $16 million lawsuit against Brown in connection with the incident.
