Chris Brown Reaches Settlement In Nightclub Assault Lawsuit, But Criminal Charges Remain

Chris Brown has reportedly resolved a key part of his ongoing legal troubles stemming from an alleged violent incident at a London nightclub.
The singer was sued in 2023 by Abe Diaw, who accused him of attacking him in a nightclub with a Don Julio 1942 tequila bottle.
According to newly filed court documents, Diaw has asked a Los Angeles County judge to dismiss the civil lawsuit with prejudice, meaning he cannot refile the case. This type of dismissal typically indicates that a private settlement was reached between the parties. However, details of the agreement—if any financial compensation was involved—have not been disclosed.
In the now-dismissed lawsuit, Diaw alleged that Brown struck him three times with a tequila bottle and continued to stomp on him while he lay unconscious, resulting in serious and lasting injuries.
While this civil matter may be closed, Brown’s legal battles are far from over. The singer still faces criminal charges in the UK related to the same incident. He was arrested earlier this year upon arrival for his world tour and was charged with assault and possession of a weapon.
After being released on bail, Brown recently appeared in court, where he pleaded not guilty to the charges.
As the criminal proceedings continue, all eyes remain on how this high-profile case will unfold.

Louisa Annan Raises Concern Over Female Gospel Musicians Dressing

Renowned gospel singer, songwriter, and preacher Louisa Annan has expressed concern over what she describes as poor fashion choices among many female gospel musicians today.
Speaking in an interview with Ekow Smith of Ghvibes Dotnet, the “Reign” hitmaker emphasized the importance of good grooming and decent dressing, especially for those in ministry and music. She believes that while looking good is important, it must be done with modesty and purpose.
“Dressing well adds focus to you. It attracts people to your message,” she explained. “Sometimes people may not be able to approach you, but your appearance alone can draw them closer. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a gospel musician dressing well—what matters is that you don’t expose your body. The way you dress is how people will address you.”
Louisa noted that although the gospel industry has evolved significantly over the years, the fashion sense of some female musicians still needs improvement—hence the constant criticism from the public.
According to her, because gospel musicians and ministers play a vital role in connecting people to God, how they present themselves matters greatly.
“You can’t just wear anything that reveals private parts of your body or aim to show off curves. I won’t blame them entirely—many are doing it for fame or attention,” she added.
Rather than harshly criticizing these musicians, Louisa believes the better approach is to educate and guide them toward modest, tasteful dressing that aligns with their calling.
While she admits she may not be a fashion icon, Louisa says she prioritizes comfort and modesty in all her wardrobe choices.

Ugly Dray Pulls Up In Style With His First EP Project

Ugly Dray is here and he is bringing the heat with his new project called EP I, titled ITHIE. With songs like Retro Love Intro and Big Body Benz, Not Love, Fallout, and Any Worse, this EP is taking trap rap based in Africa to a new level.
The ITHIE EP, meaning Is This How It Ends just dropped, and it is all you need to hype this month. Ugly Dray gets you locked in with Retro Love Intro, giving a brief explanation of his works on this project in poetic format.
It illustrates how love fades away quickly after getting familiar with the person. While Big Body Benz throws light on love at the initial stage and the joy that you feel when you first meet the right person until it all comes crashing down.
It talks about a complete girl who has the traits a man wants both physically and behaviorally. This song is dedicated to all beautiful ladies in the world and makes the point that they are beautiful regardless of the world’s definition of beauty. Fallout features new Ghanaian crooner, June, who also appears in the beginning of the EP on Retro Love Intro.
This is a song that reflects on a painful relationship filled with mismatched timing, emotional torture and a loss of trust. Despite strong feelings and efforts, love turns into loneliness and disappointment. The feeling of betrayal, questioning love, and resolving to guard his heart going forward. In all, don’t trust too easily, and always try to put yourself first.
Not Love featuring Ghanaian songstress, Shelter talks about an intense love you have for someone and later realizing it was not mutual making it look like a love fraud. Its catchy chorus and rhythmic rap style, will make this one a fan favorite. Any Worse is about the acceptance that it is obviously not gonna work out anymore regardless of all the sacrifices and commitments.
Expressing a strong sense of regret. There’s more talk of toxic dynamics of the relationship in various scenarios, talking of arguments, broken promises, fake love and emotional instability. Then there is ITHIE POEM to wrap up the EP I, that gives us more of a cliffhanger that there might be more to come. Is this really how it ends…
The EP is now live on Spotify, Apple Music, Audiomack and everywhere you listen to music, in addition to lyric videos on YouTube. Check out the official visualizer also on YouTube too! Follow Ugly Dray on all social media platforms to stay updated on everything new!

HKR Manuel Drops Juls Inspired Single “Palmwine”

Rising Ghanaian singer HKR Manuel today unveils his captivating new single, “Palmwine.” This
soulful Afro-Fusion track draws inspiration from the intoxicating feeling of deep obsession or
love, where the lines of reality beautifully blur.
It captures that sweet, heady rush where love
feels like a powerful, delightful drug, and you willingly lose yourself in the experience.
“Palmwine” holds a unique origin story. In December 2023, HKR Manuel entered a beat contest
judged by industry stalwarts Appietus, Altra Nova, and Juls. While some judges appreciated his
beat despite its raw mix, Juls was unequivocally unenthusiastic, leading to HKR Manuel’s
elimination. “At the time, I was crushed,” HKR Manuel admits, “But looking back, that moment lit
something in me.”
A couple of years later, during a lighthearted conversation with his friend Khxnbeats, the
memory resurfaced. HKR Manuel playfully declared, “Watch me make a beat better than Juls
ever has and call it Palmwine.” The name itself is a playful nod to Juls’s well-known “Palmwine
Diaries” project. Leaning into the same highlife-inspired fusion that Juls has mastered, HKR
Manuel crafted the beat and recorded the vocals, realizing he had created something deeply
personal and resonant.
“Funny enough, I’m genuinely thankful to Juls now,” he shares. “That moment pushed me.
Without it, this record wouldn’t exist.” HKR Manuel is an up-and-coming artist from Ghana,
known for blending Afrobeats, Hip-Hop, and Alternative sounds to forge a unique sonic identity.
With a deep passion for storytelling through music, he delivers raw, emotive performances that
connect profoundly with his audience. His artistry is driven by authenticity, innovation, and a
relentless desire to push the boundaries of contemporary African music.
“Palmwine” is more than just a song; it’s a testament to artistic resilience and the transformative
power of a challenge.
