Bow Wow Has Chris Brown’s Back!
Bow Wow wasn’t about to let this situation slide without speaking his piece, considering how close he is to Brown. While headed to catch a movie on May 16, he hopped on his Instagram Story to rally for Breezy. “Free Breezy, free Breezy, free Breezy, y’all know we gonna yell it until it actually happens,” he said.
Bow Wow explained that Chris had been minding his business. He flew to Manchester to rehearse for his Breezy Bowl tour before things quickly derailed. “It’s an unfortunate situation,” he shared, adding, “They don’t want to let my dawg be great.” Bow Wow believes this setback won’t last. He confidently stated, “One thing I do know, he’ll be out in no time, he’ll be back doing what he do best.” Additionally, he pointed out that Chris had been lying low, staying out of the media and drama. He said CB’s only focus has been “to tour, please his fans, and take care of his kids.”
Chris was all set to kick off his Breezy Bowl tour in Amsterdam on June 8, so he flew to Manchester to prep for the European leg. But shortly after his arrival, the Metropolitan police rolled up to his hotel and arrested him on suspicion of causing “grievous bodily harm.”
The accuser, a producer named Abe Diaw, says Chris attacked him at Tape nightclub in London back in February 2023. According to Diaw, Chris, who was on tour at the time, smashed a tequila bottle over his head, causing Diaw to hit the floor, per the New York Post. CB allegedly kept the attack going with punches and kicks. Diaw ended up in the hospital and is now coming after Chris’ pockets, filing a lawsuit seeking $16 million in damages.

On May 16, Chris faced charges at the same courthouse and was remanded to custody. He will appear at Southwark Crown Court on Friday, June 13. However, with the tour slated to start in just three weeks, this arrest has thrown things completely off the rails, leaving the European leg with more questions than answers!
