Rapper HoodyBaby been charged over an alleged assault<\/a> at a London nightclub back in 2023, just two days after R&B star Chris Brown was arrested<\/a> in connection with the same incident.<\/p>\n

HoodyBaby, whose real name is Omololu Akinlolu, is facing a charge of grievous bodily harm with intent<\/a>, according to London\u2019s Metropolitan Police Department.<\/p>\n

He was to due to appear Saturday at Manchester Magistrates\u2019 Court, where Brown made his initial appearance on Friday after being hit with the same charge as his frequent collaborator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A judge rejected Brown\u2019s request for bail and ordered be held<\/a> until his next hearing on June 13 \u2014 the same day he\u2019s scheduled to take the stage in Frankfurt as part of his Breezy Bowl XX world tour.<\/a><\/p>\n

He\u2019s also slated to perform in Amsterdam on June 8, before heading to Germany then journeying across the U.K., but his legal woes have left the future of his tour in limbo.<\/p>\n

Brown\u2019s case has since been transferred to Southwark Crown Court in London, where he\u2019s expected to enter a plea.<\/p>\n

The charge against him stems from an incident on Feb. 19, 2023 at the Tape club in London. He\u2019s accused of repeatedly striking music producer Abe Diaw over the head with a bottle of tequila, which police say was caught on surveillance video in front of a club full of people.<\/p>\n

In court on Friday, prosecutors said the R&B singer \u2014 who has a history of assault arrests<\/a> \u2014 also punched and repeatedly\u00a0kicked Diaw during the \u201cunprovoked attack.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Diaw reportedly filed a civil suit<\/a> seeking damages for the injuries he suffered in the alleged assault, claiming he was knocked unconscious and stomped on as he was passed out on the floor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rapper HoodyBaby been charged over an alleged assault at a London nightclub back in 2023, just two days…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":110409,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,50087,393,4884,2843,257,603,12,50088,16,15,263],"class_list":{"0":"post-110408","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-crime-and-public-safety","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-latest-headlines","13":"tag-london","14":"tag-national-news","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-snyde","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom","19":"tag-world-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114526122378138301","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110408\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
