Social media users have expressed mixed reactions to the news that multi award winning artist, Chris Brown, was granted £5 million (R120 million) bail by a London court.

 

The 36-year-old was not present at Southwark Crown Court for his bail hearing.

 

The ‘Residuals’ hitmaker was arrested at a Manchester hotel over assault charges.

He was initially denied bail last week by the same court.

He is accused of assaulting music producer, Abraham Diaw with a tequila bottle at a London nightclub in 2023.

 

Diaw claims the injuries he sustained following the attack required hospitalization.

Some of the R&B star’s bail conditions include surrendering his passport except for when he travels related to his tour.

 

The 36 year old’s bail comes ahead of “Breezy Bowl XX” tour set to kick-off next month in the Netherlands.

 

The two-time Grammy Award winner will return to court on   20 June,  in-between his performances at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium and London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

 

While some have celebrated Breezy’s release, others have criticised the court’s decision.
