While the incident occurred in February 2023, Diaw filed a lawsuit 9 months after. However, the London incident is far from his first run in with the law for Brown.

In 2009, when the singer was dating pop star Rihanna, he was charged with felony assault conviction for beating her. Pictures of the "Diamonds" singer went viral as her face showed severe injuries. Additionally, his ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, was granted a restraining order in 2017.
