On Thursday, it was announced that the โ€œResidualsโ€ singer was arrested in the U.K. over allegations that he assaulted a music producer with a tequila bottle back in 2023 at a London nightclub.

โ€œHe has been taken into custody, where he remains. The arrest relates to an incident at a venue in Hanover Square on Feb. 19, 2023. The investigation is being led by detectives from the Central West Area Basic Command Unit,โ€ local authorities said in a statement per Page Six.

The alleged victim in this incident, Abe Diaw, previously filed a lawsuit against Brown in October 2023, claiming that the singer โ€œbeat him over the headโ€ with a bottle of Don Julio tequila, then โ€œruthlessly stompedโ€ on him while kicking him in the back of his neck. As a result, Diaw claims the โ€œSensationalโ€ singer โ€œinflicted severe and lasting injuriesโ€ that led to him ultimately being hospitalized due to โ€œlacerations on his head and torn ligaments in his leg.โ€

Representatives for Brown has yet to comment on the matter but trust us when we say folks online have plenty to say about the matter. And why is that, you may ask? Well, itโ€™s because less than 24 hours prior to Brownโ€™s arrest, he posted a controversial message in his Instagram stories that some fans are now viewing as a potential precursor and โ€œFAFOโ€ moment to his current jail situation.

โ€œFREE TORY,โ€ Brown posted on Wednesday, referencing of course rapper Tory Lanez whoโ€™s serving out his prison sentence for the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.

Lanez himself has also had quite a tumultuous week having suffered an alleged stabbing and lung collapse on Tuesday. However, despite his ailments, folks online werenโ€™t too quick to believe his story nor the update that followed it that claimed that he wasnโ€™t the person who shot Meg all those years ago.

Seeing Brown cape for Lanez and then go through his own subsequent legal mess sent some folks on X/Twitter into a hilarious frenzy with many feeling like the โ€œGo Crazyโ€ singer got exactly what he deserved and it was cause for celebration.

โ€œChris Brown is TRASH! Itโ€™s doesnโ€™t matter how talented or how great of a performer he is. As soon, as we give him his flowers, grace or almost forget about him being a SERIAL VIOLENT CRIMINAL he does somebody [sic] to remind us. And donโ€™t @ me go argue with your taste in violent men!โ€ wrote another.

โ€œNah, someone said screaming free Tory and then getting arrested the next day is nasty work. The nasty work of Chris Brown. If that ainโ€™t bout a bitch. See, he shouldโ€™ve just sat there and ate his food,โ€ wrote one other.
