Chris Brown given suspended eight-month prison sentence over nightclub attack
US singer Chris Brown has avoided jail after striking a man twice in the head with a glass tequila bottle in a London nightclub.
The R&B star was given an eight-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, over the attack at private members' club Tape in Mayfair, in the early hours of 19 February 2023.
Brown's vocal coach, rapper Omololu Akinlolu, who joined the attack, was sentenced to four months' imprisonment, suspended for 12 months. Both men, who had pleaded guilty to affray, were also ordered to pay £1,500 costs.
Judge Tony Baumgartner said Brown's use of the glass bottle to hit the victim twice over the head "was plainly dangerous", adding that the violence of the attack was "intense".

US singer Chris Brown has been handed an eight-month sentence, suspended for a year, after pleading guilty to affray in a London court.
The charge stemmed from an incident at a London nightclub three years ago in which he beat a music producer with a tequila bottle.
In return for his guilty plea, prosecutors dropped charges of assault, attempting to cause grievous bodily harm and having an offensive weapon, a bottle.

Chris Brown Gets Suspended Eight-Month Sentence for ‘Vicious and Unprovoked’ Attack at U.K. Nightclub
Grammy award winning singer Chris Brown has received a suspended eight-month sentence – therefore avoiding jail time – in relation to a “vicious and unprovoked” attack at a London nightclub in 2023.
Before sentencing, Judge Tony Baumgartner had warned Brown, “I take account of your employment and long-established career in music. Your fame, commercial success and professional standing do not entitle you to special treatment. The law applies equally to everyone.”
In July, Brown pleaded guilty to a count of affray at London’s Southwark Crown Court for attacking a music producer with a tequila bottle on the head.
His co-defendant, Omololu Akinlolu, had also pleaded guilty. The U.K.’s Crown Prosecution Service (similar in function to the District Attorney) described Akinlolu, a Florida rapper also known as HoodyBaby, as Brown’s vocal coach. He received a sentence of four months, suspended for 12 months.
