Both men are scheduled to be sentenced on October 26th, with Brown facing a maximum sentence of three years in prison. Until then, Brown has been granted bail so that he can continue his <a href=\"https:\/\/consequence.net\/2026\/04\/chris-brown-usher-2026-stadium-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stadium tour with Usher<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Diaw previously filed a lawsuit against Brown, claiming the singer \u201cbeat[sic] him over the head\u201d with a bottle of Don Julio 1942 tequila, then proceeded to \u201cruthlessly stomp\u201d on him.
