In 2023 singer Chris Brown and his vocal coach, Omololu Akinlolu, allegedly attacked a music producer with a tequila bottle in a London nightclub. They were arrested in 2025. Brown was charged with grievous bodily harm but was released on bail and allowed to go on tour that summer. In 2026 both Brown and Akinlolu pleaded guilty to affray, a lesser charge that involves fighting in public in a way that endangers or alarms others. Prosecutors subsequently dropped the more serious assault charges. Brown received an eight-month suspended sentence.
