As per TMZ, On February 19, at Tape London, where Brown was celebrating the UK segment of his Under the Influence tour, Diaw claims that the artist subjected him to "crushing blows" by repeatedly hitting him over the head.

Despite having known Brown for nearly a decade, Diaw believed the rapper was approaching for a friendly hug before being unexpectedly struck with the bottle.
