Chris Brown has been released on bail in the U.K. following his arrest last week. Upon hearing news of his freedom, rapper 50 Cent took to his Instagram page praising the singer’s talents.
“CB out he made bond, I’m only saying sh*t about him because I think he is the best overall artist out,” the Queens rapper, 49, declared. “I watched his whole run!” See the post below.
Brown, 36, was arrested and taken into custody at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester on Thursday, May 15. The arrest stems from a 2023 incident where the singer allegedly assaulted producer Abe Diaw with a bottle of alcohol at Tape nightclub.
“A 36-year-old man was arrested at a hotel in Manchester shortly after 02:00hrs on Thursday, 15 May on suspicion of grievous bodily harm,” a Metropolitan Police spokesperson confirmed. “He has been taken into custody where he remains. The arrest relates to an incident at a venue in Hanover Square on 19 February 2023. The investigation is being led by detectives from the Central West Area Basic Command Unit.”
After being denied bail once, Brown was released on $6.7M bail following a hearing on Wednesday (May 21), with the amount being forfeited if certain conditions are not met or if he does not make it to his next court appearance, the British Press Association reported.
Brown is now free to begin the European leg of his Breezy Bowl Tour. Between shows at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium and London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, however, the “Sensational” artist has a court date of June 20. He has also been ordered by Judge Tony Baumgartner to surrender his passport unless it is being used for tour purposes.
