**Rapper Charged with GBH Following Chris Brown’s Arrest in London**
A second individual has been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent in connection with an incident involving American singer Chris Brown at a London nightclub. Omololu Akinlolu, known by his stage name HoodyBaby, is set to appear at Manchester Magistrates’ Court on Saturday.
The 38-year-old rapper faces charges related to an alleged assault that took place at the Tape nightclub in central London in February 2023. Chris Brown, 36, was charged with grievous bodily harm with intent on Thursday and has been remanded in custody until June 13. He is accused of attacking music producer Abraham Diaw with a bottle during the incident.
During a court hearing on Friday, Brown listened as prosecutor Hannah Nicholls described the case, alleging that he committed “an unprovoked attack with a weapon in a nightclub full of people.” Brown confirmed his identity but did not enter a plea. He is scheduled for a plea and trial preparation hearing in London on June 13.
The Grammy Award-winning artist, known for hits like “Loyal,” “Run It,” and “Under the Influence,” was arrested at a hotel in Manchester early Thursday morning by detectives from the Metropolitan Police. Brown was expected to tour the UK in June and July, with performances planned in cities including Manchester, Cardiff, London, Glasgow, and Birmingham.
As the legal proceedings unfold, both Brown and Akinlolu face serious charges stemming from this incident, raising questions about the implications for their careers and upcoming engagements.
