R&B singer reflects on mental health during European tour while awaiting trial in the UK

Chris Brown has opened up about how he copes with the isolating nature of fame while touring abroad. In a recent Instagram post, the R&B superstar shared a series of nighttime photos taken during solo walks in various European cities, explaining that the practice helps him stay “grounded.”

“Fun fact: I like to sneak out by myself when I’m in different cities,” Brown wrote. “It helps me feel human and normal. That’s really important for my mental due to the fact that I just can’t walk around freely during the day. Keeps me grounded.”

He added, “Being secluded from some parts of everyday life activities will drive you insane being isolated all the time. Cook, remain humble and grateful!”

Brown’s comments come amid a turbulent chapter in his life. Last month, he was arrested in Manchester and charged with grievous bodily harm with intent in connection to a 2023 nightclub assault in London. He was initially denied bail but was later released after posting $7 million and agreeing to strict conditions, including living in the UK and surrendering his passport.

Despite the legal drama, Brown continues his Breezy Bowl tour, with international travel allowed under his bail terms. His criminal trial is expected to proceed later this year.

R&B star to remain in custody ahead of June 13 court appearance

Chris Brown has been denied bail in the United Kingdom following his arrest in connection with an alleged nightclub assault dating back two years. The R&B singer was taken into custody last week and formally charged with grievous bodily harm with intent.

Brown appeared before a UK court on Friday, May 16, where prosecutors described the alleged incident as “extremely serious” and confirmed it had been captured on CCTV. While the defense requested bail, the judge ultimately ruled in favor of the prosecution’s objections, ordering Brown to remain in custody until his next hearing on June 13.

During the brief court session, Brown confirmed his name and current UK address at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester, where he was arrested.

The 35-year-old artist is currently in the UK for his “Breezy Bowl” tour, which is set to kick off on June 15—just two days after his scheduled court date. It remains unclear whether the legal proceedings will affect the tour, and no official statement has been made regarding potential postponements.

As of now, Brown has not publicly addressed his arrest or the charges filed against him.

Breezy Sues Warner Bros. Over Documentary Allegations

Chris Brown has filed a $500 million defamation lawsuit against Warner Bros. and others over rape claims made against him in the documentary Chris Brown: A History of Violence.

The documentary, which premiered in October 2024, featured testimony from an unknown woman who claims the singer raped her on Diddy‘s boat in 2020. The allegations were previously put forth in a $20 million lawsuit, but that was dismissed without prejudice when evidence emerged that the story had been fabricated.

In his lawsuit filed on Tuesday (January 21), Brown accuses Warner Bros. and production company Ample Entertainment of “promoting and publishing false information in their pursuit of likes, clicks, downloads and dollars and to [his] detriment.”

He also claims the film was released despite the producers “knowing that it was full of lies and deception.”

The suit states: “This case is about the media putting their own profits over the truth. They did so after being provided proof that their information was false, and their storytelling ‘Jane Doe’ had not only been discredited over and over but was in fact a perpetrator of intimate partner violence and aggressor herself.”

“Mr. Brown has never been found guilty of any sex-related crime […] but this documentary states in every available fashion that he is a serial rapist and sexual abuser.”

Chris Brown is seeking $500 million in damages. Warner Bros. and Ample Entertainment have yet to respond to the lawsuit.

Breezy advocates for shorter sentences for inmate firefighters during the L.A. wildfires

Chris Brown is calling for a reduction in the years of imprisonment for the inmates involved in fighting the raging wildfires in Los Angeles. Nearly 800 inmates have been sent out to fight the inferno that has engulfed much of the city since earlier this week.

Brown, who resides in L.A. himself, commented on the matter on the social media platform Instagram on Thursday (January 9): “LA… Make sure y’all throw a ceremony or parade for these firefighters and first responders after this.” He added, “Also, the prisoners who were out there risking their lives need time knocking off their sentences. Just saying.”

The R&B diva’s words have come at a time when fires have continued their destructive path through California, and many prison inmates volunteering have opposed the threat and its victimization. On another note, Brown doubted the fires’ origin, saying, “Someone starting these fires. Shit don’t add up.” His skepticism has only fueled speculations concerning the meaning behind this widespread destruction.

Brown’s words raised a question regarding the treatment of inmates who are more often put into life-threatening assignments, and many people are interested in reforms that should benefit fire-fighting activity members.
