It’s possible Chris Brown did not act alone in the alleged 2023 bottle smashing incident at a London nightclub … ’cause a second man has been charged in connection to the alleged assault.
Rapper HoodyBaby — real name Omololu Akinlolu — is charged with grievous bodily harm with intent and is due to appear at Manchester Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, London’s Metropolitan Police confirmed in a statement.
As we reported … CB appeared at the same court Friday after being charged with one count of grievous bodily harm.

A judge ruled Chris would remain in police custody until his next court appearance … which will be at London’s Southwark Crown Court on June 13.
Brown’s detainment is rough timing for him — he is scheduled to kick off his “Breezy Bowl XX” tour on June 8 in the Netherlands.
No word yet on the status of the tour … but things aren’t looking good.
As you know … the “Under the Influence” singer is accused of smashing music producer Abe Diaw over the head with a bottle of Don Julio 1942 tequila at the Tape club in London in 2023 — leading to his arrest.
Diaw sued Brown over the alleged assault, accusing him of “beating” him unconscious and causing serious injuries that left him hospitalized.
