Brown, a two-time Grammy winner known for hits like 'Loyal' and 'Run It,' has a history of legal issues, including a high-profile assault on Rihanna in 2009.

His court appearance marks a continuation of legal proceedings related to the nightclub incident, with a trial scheduled to last five to seven days starting October 26, 2026.

Brown arrived at court dressed in a checkered suit and orange-tinted sunglasses, maintaining a neutral demeanor, with supporters and fans showing support outside.

His next court hearing is scheduled for October 24, 2025, as the legal process continues.

Brown also denied a more serious charge of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm during the hearing.

US singer Chris Brown pleaded not guilty in a UK court to charges of assault causing actual bodily harm and possessing an offensive weapon, both related to an incident at a London nightclub in July 2023.

The incident, reportedly captured on CCTV, involved an alleged unprovoked attack at Tape nightclub in Mayfair, with witnesses and surveillance footage supporting the case.

Brown's lawyer plans to contest the charges, claiming self-defense, as he faces three charges including assault and possession of an offensive weapon.

He appeared in Southwark Crown Court, where around 20 supporters and fans were present, reacting visibly as he entered.

Brown was released on bail in May 2025 after posting a £5 million security bond, with conditions including surrendering his passport unless on tour.

He is currently on his 'Breezy Bowl XX' tour, which began in June 2025, with performances across Europe, including a sold-out show at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.

Following European dates, Brown is scheduled to return to North America at the end of July for additional performances, including two nights in Toronto.
