After being denied bail, Chris Brown’s manager, Anthony Wilson, was spotted delivering a KFC meal and fresh clothes to the R&B star while he remains in custody in Manchester, UK. The 36-year-old singer, known for chart-toppers like “Run It” and “Under the Influence,” faces serious legal trouble that could derail his upcoming world tour.
Brown was arrested last week at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester for an alleged assault that took place in 2023 at London’s Tape nightclub. The charge, grievous bodily harm with intent, stems from an incident where Brown allegedly attacked music producer Abe Diaw with a bottle in an unprovoked assault. After his arrest, a Manchester court rejected his bail request on May 16, 2025, citing him as a flight risk. Brown, now held at Pendleton Police Station, reapplied for bail at Southwark Crown Court on May 21, 2025, with his next hearing set for June 13, 2025.
In all the legal hullabaloo, Brown’s old pal and manager, Anthony Wilson, was spotted walking towards the police station with a JD Sports bag and KFC takeaway container. A cellphone video being viewed on social media recorded the female officer taking the delivery, claimed to be for Brown. The act produced a whirlwind reaction on social media, with some fans laughing and others expressing shock. Some expressed admiration for the devotion, with one user saying,
“Chris is still eating well in lockup!”
Others complained about the type of takeaway, making jokes about opting for the likes of Popeyes.
This is significant for Brown, whose Breezy Bowl XX tour is set to get underway on June 8, 2025, in the Netherlands, with UK dates in Manchester and London. The ongoing court fight, connected to an incident in 2023 that also precipitated a $16 million civil action brought by Diaw, risks jeopardizing those plans. Brown’s history of court cases, including his widely publicized 2009 case involving an alleged assault, brings extra attention to the matter.
