Summary
Southwark Crown Court heard Chris Brown, 37, plead guilty Friday to affray over a 2023 confrontation at a London nightclub; the hearing lasted less than five minutes.
Omololu Akinlolu, Brown’s co-defendant and vocal coach, also pleaded guilty, while prosecutors dropped the original assault, grievous bodily harm and offensive-weapon charges tied to a tequila bottle.
Oct. 26 was set for sentencing after Brown had earlier been allowed to continue a world tour under bail conditions that included a £5 million security fee and passport surrender on arrival in each country.
Outside the London court, fans held support signs and shouted to Brown, whose latest case adds to a record that includes jail time in Los Angeles after his assault conviction involving Rihanna.
