CHRIS BROWN OUT ON R120M BAIL

US R&B singer Chris Brown is out bail after agreeing to pay a guarantee of R120 million for his UK assault case.

As part of his bail conditions, the 36-year-old artist is permitted to continue with his international tour, which kicks off on 8 June in Amsterdam.

However, he is required to return to the UK for a series of performances starting 15 June. If he fails to do so, the R120 million will be forfeited.

The "Under the Influence” hitmaker was vasgevat in the UK after being accused of an unprovoked assault on music producer Abe Diaw at Tape nightclub in London in 2023.

Last weekend, Manchester Magistrates Court denied Brown bail, with the presiding judge citing the grave nature of the allegations.

Prosecutors have described the incident as particularly violent, claiming that Brown struck Diaw with a bottle and continued to assault him while he lay injured on the ground.

Prosecutor Hannah Nicholls told the court the alleged victim was at the bar in the Tape nightclub in central London when he was struck several times with a bottle in an "unprovoked" attack.

"The defendant then pursued him to a separate area of the nightclub where the victim was punched and kicked repeatedly by him and another," she added. Brown was touring the UK at the time of the alleged assault.

As legal drama unfolds, this latest incident is yet another chapter in Brown's tumultuous year, marked by multiple lawsuits and controversies.
