In a significant legal development, Chris Brown was taken into custody by British prosecutors on May 15, 2025, following charges related to an alleged assault that occurred on February 19, 2023, at a London venue. The 36-year-old musician is now facing grievous bodily harm charges and is set to appear at the Manchester Magistrates' Court at 10 a.m. on Friday.

Known for his dynamic performances and numerous hits, Brown has secured a lasting imprint on the R&B scene with 17 Billboard Top 10 singles.
