LONDON - American R&B singer Chris Brown on Friday pleaded guilty to a public order offence following an alleged brawl at a London nightclub in 2023. "Guilty," replied Brown, 37, dressed in a beige suit and dark brown tie, after the charge of affray was put to him as he stood in the dock at Southwark Crown Court in London. Brown, who had a troubled relationship with singer Rihanna, will now be sentenced on October 26. The 37-year-old, who has been on £5.0 million ($6.7 million) bail, spent nearly a week in jail in May 2025 before being released. He had also faced the same assault charges as Brown and also pleaded guilty to affray.
