Abe Diaw, the music producer who previously accused Chris Brown of violently attacking him with a tequila bottle at a London nightclub in 2023, has officially dismissed his civil lawsuit against the singer, according to a report from TMZ.

Court documents filed in Los Angeles County reveal that Diaw requested a dismissal with prejudice, meaning the lawsuit cannot be refiled. This type of dismissal typically suggests a private resolution may have been reached outside of court, though no official details about a settlement have been made public. As of now, neither party has confirmed whether any money was exchanged or if any other terms were agreed upon.

Diaw's original lawsuit alleged that Brown, seemingly unprovoked, struck him in the head with a tequila bottle during a night out at TAPE nightclub in London. The alleged assault was described as "brutal," leaving Diaw with visible injuries and reportedly causing long-term physical and emotional damage. He had been seeking damages for battery, emotional distress, and medical expenses.

While the civil case in the U.S. has now been closed, Brown is not completely in the clear. The Grammy-winning artist is still facing criminal charges in the United Kingdom in connection with the same incident. Just days before the start of his European tour, Brown was arrested by U.K. authorities and charged with assault and possession of an offensive weapon. He appeared in court roughly 10 days ago, where he entered a not guilty plea.

The dismissal of the civil case does not impact the ongoing criminal proceedings in the U.K., which could still carry serious legal consequences for Brown if he is found guilty. For now, fans and critics alike will be closely watching how the case unfolds overseas.

Chris Brown has not publicly commented on the recent developments in either case.
