In February, Chris was questioned by British police in relation to a reported assault on a music producer. According to the allegations, Brown smashed a bottle over the head of the unnamed producer while at a nightclub. “A row broke out with a guy and Brown’s crowd and the man was hit over the head with a bottle.” The witness to the incident continued. “He tried to get up off the ground to escape but he was surrounded and then punched and kicked.”
While Brown’s representatives said the rapper would meet with law enforcement at the end of March. “Two men were due to attend a police station for a voluntary interview on March 29 but did not attend. Enquiries are ongoing to locate them.” However, he reportedly returned to the US at the end of his tour without meeting with the cops. This may lead to more serious legal consequences if he crosses the Atlantic.
Brown Will Face Arrest If He Re-enters the UK

According to sources who spoke with the Sun, Brown could face arrest if he returns to the UK. “Chris knows he will be arrested if he goes back to the UK but is still doing everything he can to avoid it. But he is also concerned he could potentially be picked up in any country with an extradition treaty with Great Britain.”
However, it’s not the first time that Brown has faced British-centric controversy. After being convicted of assaulting Rihanna, Brown was banned from entering the UK. That ban was overturned by Home Secretary Priti Patel in 2020 but the ban still weighs on the artist. “There was some speculation in the Brown camp that the British might be too embarrassed to arrest Chris because the Government had let him back in.” This may be why Brown was allowed to leave the country in March. While Brown does not have an upcoming on the books, this development could affect his future plans.

Recently, it was reported that Chris Brown’s 34th birthday party ended on a violent note. Rumors swirled that he and his crew jumped Usher at the event. This development was surprising, given that the two R&B singers have a close relationship. While the story remains unconfirmed and is mostly based on hearsay and conjecture, reports have flooded in from all angles. Although some individuals may need to see video evidence to believe it, most are curious to know what happened. Though there is no video of the physical altercation, a video did later emerge of an argument between the two. According to these accounts, it was not a personal grudge but a matter of defending a victim of Brown’s behavior.
Usher threw a skate party for Brown’s birthday, with guests including Mario, Bow Wow, and many others. However, things reportedly took a turn for the worse as Brown allegedly got increasingly intoxicated. He was said to have been disrespectful to Teyana Taylor, approaching her in a drunken state. It’s unclear what exactly he said or did. Multiple individuals are believed to have joined the argument, leading to the alleged altercation. Now, Chris Brown has a new defender in Lisa Raye.
Lisa Raye spoke out in Brown’s defense on Fox Souls’ Cocktails With Queens. In the roundtable-style interview, Raye says that the public treats the singer unfairly based on his past. However, she points out that having a past doesn’t mean everything is automatically your fault. “Why he gotta chill? Why he gotta chill?” Raye asked. “What if he felt just like what he said? ‘F her.’ What if he felt like that? What I don’t like about it is that every time his name is brought up, that he always gets automatically blamed. Because, ‘He is that way.’ We know him to be that, so it gotta be him.”
Raye went on to compare her past to Brown’s, giving some insight as to why she feels that he is treated unfairly. “That’s what I don’t like when people have that kind of stigma – because I got that. It’s quick for you to think that, ‘Oh Lisa Raye would have done that,’ or, ‘Lisa Raye said that,” said the actress. “And I don’t like that because that very next time, it could have been very different. But you blame me because of my past.” What do you think of Lisa Raye’s defense of Chris Brown? Do you think that the public treats him unfairly? Let us know in the comments!
Controversy swirled around Chris Brown this week, with reports of violence at his 34th birthday bash. It’s claimed that the R&B artist and his entourage attacked Usher, despite their close ties. No confirmation or video evidence has yet been made available as to what happened, though many stories exist. Most are left wondering what truly transpired, but rumors claim the altercation may have been sparked by a defense of another person reportedly wronged by Brown: Teyana Taylor.
Once an adored R&B teen superstar likened to Michael Jackson, Chris Brown’s public persona changed drastically when he committed a battery charge against his then-girlfriend Rihanna. In the years since, charges of assault and battery against women have severely tarnished his image. Here are some of Chris Brown’s scandals.
For any rational individual, it is inconceivable that Chris Brown would resort to violence over something as trivial as a parking space. Yet, that was said to be the circumstance between him and Frank Ocean. The feud reportedly began when Brown attempted to leave the recording studio and found his car blocked. In response, Ocean took to Twitter to allege he had been “jumped” by Brown and his entourage. As a result, he reportedly sustained an injury to his finger, impacting his Grammy performance. Moreover, reports allege that Brown also resorted to homophobic language during the altercation.

Court papers reveal that Karreuche had accused Brown of threatening and having inflicted physical abuse while they were romantically involved. In response, a judge issued an order requiring Brown to stay 100 yards away from Tran, her mother, and her younger brother. Furthermore, he was not allowed to contact Tran. Additionally, she reportedly provided text messages dating back to 2016 demonstrating his threats, including promises to ‘beat her up’ and make her life a living hell. Furthermore, she attested that Brown once punched her in her stomach twice “years ago” and pushed her down a flight of stairs. The pair had been engaged in a turbulent on-off relationship since 2011.

Chris Brown’s stint in rehabilitation for anger management issues came as a surprise to many. Nonetheless, the singer saw it as an opportunity to avoid prison time. Though, he allegedly lacked the discipline to adhere to the conditions of his stay. Not only was he said to have been subjected to a two-foot rule separating him from all women, but he was also found to have left the premises without permission and initially refused to submit to a drug test upon his return.
3. Accused of Threatening a Woman With a Firearm

As the saga of Chris Brown scandals continues, the status of his current case remains uncertain. One of his scandals involved an alleged assault with a deadly weapon against a woman in his home. In a misguided attempt to defend himself, Brown posted a now-deleted video on Instagram, where it was clear that he was far from sober. This did little to ameliorate the situation. He denied the accusation, stating that “every three months y’all come up with something.” Yet, one could argue that it is his own behavior has caused so much uproar. It is difficult to say what will come of Brown’s current predicament. However, at this point, it is certain that he needs a legal team standing by at all times.
Chris Brown has been accused of “robbery by sudden snatching” following an altercation with a fan. Reports suggest that upon exiting the club, Christal Shanae Spann attempted to take a photograph of Brown through his car window. In response, he purportedly yelled, “B*tch, you not gonna put this up on no website,” wrenching her phone away and driving off. An arrest concerning this incident could have resulted in a probation violation and jail time.
1. Rihanna’s Abuse

It’s no secret that Chris Brown and Rihanna were once a beloved couple in the music industry. However, their relationship quickly took a dark turn when Brown physically assaulted Rihanna. Reports state that he punched her multiple times, bit her, and choked her, leaving her bruised and bloodied. Then, pictures of her injuries circulated online, prompting uproar.
Despite being the victim of this heinous incident, Rihanna’s personal and professional life hasn’t been tarnished. However, she has had to constantly face the repercussions of social conversations. Brown’s fans continue to defend him, stating he has grown since that time. Of all Chris Brown scandals, this one has to be the one with far-reaching consequences on his career.
Usher’s “Lovers & Friends” Festival was eventful, with many surprising moments that got fans buzzing. Several highlights left fans talking, from Chris Brown’s backstage altercation to Ginuwine’s tumble on stage. SOHH dives into some of the most noteworthy moments at the festival.

There are rumors circulating about an alleged heated altercation between Chris Brown, Teyana Taylor, and Usher at the “Under The Influence” artist’s birthday party in Vegas. The alleged incident has sparked speculation among fans, with some questioning the validity of the rumors. Alleged Altercation At Chris Brown’s Skate Birthday Party On May 5, Usher threw […]
Teyana Taylor, Usher, and Chris Brown all appear to be unbothered after rumours of a blowout taking place at the latter’s birthday party over the weekend. According to unconfirmed reports, the mother of two and Breezy got into a disagreement during his celebration due to her previously pulling out of his ultimately cancelled American Music Awards presentation. Upon taking notice of their feud, Usher apparently stepped in, causing things to become physical between him and the “Kiss Kiss” hitmaker.
Even with all the speculation floating around online, both Brown and the Houston-born vocalist appeared at Usher’s Lovers & Friends music festival in Las Vegas. Cameras caught the father of three in yet another altercation backstage during another set, though he’s since downplayed that as simply being a defensive parent looking out for his child, who was apparently with him at the time. Elsewhere, we saw footage of Taylor turning up at the R&B-centric event, even dancing along to a track by her alleged nemesis.
As Complex notes, Taylor’s grooving came during Usher’s set, as his “Party” track played loudly in the background. Of course, the song belongs to the Virginia native and also features Gucci Mane, but it remains a favourite amongst all artist’s fan bases, which is likely why the event creator opted to keep it in his set. Of course, this doesn’t exactly confirm that there are no hard feelings between Brown and the choreographer, but it does at least give us hope that things are nowhere near as dramatic as they sound.
Apart from the drama, other big moments making headlines out of the Las Vegas event include Big Sean showing love to Jhené Aiko, and Lil’ Kim showing off her version of Lil Uzi Vert’s “Just Wanna Rock” dance. Did you catch any of the performances from Usher’s Lovers & Friends festival this past weekend? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.
But also at the Festival video hit the timeline, showing Brown in a separate altercation backstage at the festival. The heated exchange shows Brown yelling and being held by back security. He would hit online and deliver an explanation.
“Yall been geeked all weekend, y’all dragging it now,” Brown wrote on Instagram. “It was mad people backstage and security was trying to clear everyone off the stage. People started pushing back.. I INTERVENED To let them know MY CHILD WAS BACK THERE. So y’all can keep ya narrative.”
