Chris Brown had also said earlier that he is not guilty of a more serious charge of trying to hurt someone badly on purpose. Omololu Akinlolu also said he is not guilty of the same charges.

The police arrested Chris Brown in Manchester in May 2025 when he arrived in the UK. He stayed in jail for a few days but was let out on bail after paying £5 million. He must go back to court or he will lose the bail money.

Even with the court case, Chris Brown is still allowed to continue his world tour, which started in Amsterdam on June 8.

The next court meeting will be on October 24.
