Chris Brown's Alleged Victim Drops Lawsuit Over London Nightclub Brawl, Peeps Speculate

• Abe Diaw, the man who accused Chris Brown of assaulting him in 2023 at a London nightclub, has officially withdrawn his lawsuit filed in the United States
• It is unclear why Abe Diaw opted to drop the lawsuit against Chris Brown, which sent peeps speculating
• Although Abe Diaw cannot refile the lawsuit, Chris Brown is not a free man, despite the developments in the civil case

United States singer Chris Brown can now put one part of his legal battle in the United Kingdom behind him after the man who accused him of assault following an alleged nightclub fight withdrew the lawsuit stemming from the incident.

Brown was arrested in May 2025 at a Manchester hotel in the UK in connection with an assault with grievous bodily harm to Abe Diaw, a music producer at a London nightclub, which took place in 2023. The songwriter has been accused of assault several times in the past, casting doubt on his innocence following his arrest in May 2025.

Chris Brown's accuser drops lawsuit over alleged UK nightclub fight

According to a report by TMZ, Chris Brown is almost a free man after Abe Diaw filed documents on Friday, 27 June 2025, asking a Los Angeles County judge to dismiss his lawsuit. Diaw filed a lawsuit against Brown in 2023, claiming the Don’t Judge Me singer struck him with a tequila bottle during an appearance at TAPE nightclub in London.

According to documents seen by TMZ, Diaw requested the lawsuit to be dismissed with prejudice, which means that he cannot refile it should he change his mind. TMZ suggested that the request usually indicates an agreement was reached between the complainant and defendant, in this case, Diaw and Brown. The publication could not establish that money exchanged hands between Abe Diaw and Chris Brown.

If the judge signs off on the request for dismissal, Chris Brown will still have to face the criminal charges for the incident. Brown pleaded not guilty when he appeared before Southwark Crown Court on 20 June 2025.
