Chris Brown Lawsuit Dismissed, Still Faces Criminal Charges in UK Assault Case
London, UK – July 1, 2025 – A civil lawsuit filed against singer Chris Brown by music producer Abe Diaw has been withdrawn, potentially signaling a settlement between the two parties [[1]]. Diaw accused Brown of assaulting him with a tequila bottle at a London nightclub in 2023, alleging Brown continued the attack while Diaw was unconscious on the ground. The dismissal was filed “without prejudice,” meaning Diaw cannot refile the lawsuit [[1]].
Despite the withdrawn civil suit, brown still faces criminal charges in the UK related to the incident. He was arrested in May 2025 by the Metropolitan Police while in Manchester for his “Breezy Bowl XXL World Tour” [[1]]. Brown,along with rapper Hoodybaby,was initially arrested in connection with the assault [[1]].
He has since been released on a $6.7K bond and continues to perform on his European tour [[1]].On June 20th, Brown pleaded not guilty to suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and now faces two additional charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm [[1]].
