Chris Brown gets suspended jail term over London nightclub attack

American singer Chris Brown has been given an eight-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, over an attack on music producer Abe Diaw at a London nightclub in February 2023. Brown, 37, pleaded guilty to affray in July and was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court after his co-defendant, Omololu Akinlolu, was also given a suspended sentence of four months. Judge Tony Baumgartner stated that Brown played a "leading role in this joint offending" and used a bottle as a weapon, causing significant injury to Diaw.
