Who Is Abe Diaw? About the Chris Brown Assault Lawsuit & Accusations

Chris Brown is facing allegations from Abe Diaw over an alleged 2023 nightclub assault.

In the suit, Diaw alleged that Brown “continued to ruthlessly stomp” on him for “30 seconds,” and he “ended up in the hospital with lacerations on his head and torn ligaments in his leg” as a result. Diaw further claimed that he suffered “crushing blows” to the head, leaving him unconscious, and he was left with “permanent” damage and “severe emotional distress” from the alleged attack, according to the lawsuit. Per The U.K. Sun, Met Police did not initially disclose Brown’s name but confirmed that a 36-year-old male “was arrested at a hotel in Manchester shortly after 02:00hrs on Thursday, 15 May [2025] on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.”
