Justin Bieber shares warm message for Chris Brown after singer was bailed

Justin Bieber has shared a message of support for Chris Brown after he was released on bail.

The 36-year-old singer was released from police custody in Manchester this week after being charged with grievous bodily harm with intent following his arrest last week.

He was taken in by police in the early hours of May 15 at a five-star hotel in the city on suspicion of causing GBH to music producer Abe Diaw at Tape nightclub in Mayfair, Central London, in February 2023.

On Thursday, Brown shared a photo of himself stepping off a private jet and wrote: ‘Cook, remain humble.’

Bieber simply replied: ‘Welcome home’, with his comment getting thousands of likes.

Under the terms of his bail, he must pay the court a £5million security fee, which is a financial guarantee ensuring a defendant returns to court, which may be forfeited if they breach bail conditions.

Meanwhile, Judge Tony Baumgartner ruled that Brown – who wasn’t in court for the bail application hearing – will be able to go ahead with his scheduled tour, which includes dates in the UK in June and July.

If Brown isn’t travelling, he will have to surrender his passport, while he must live at a specific address known to the court.

He has been banned from visiting Tape nightclub, while he also isn’t allowed to contact his accuser or apply for international travel documents.

In the past, Bieber has hailed Brown as a combination of Tupac Shakur and Michael Jackson.

He wrote in 2019: ‘Everyone wants to wait til people die To give them the credit they deserve.

‘I’m calling it now when CB passes away after a long full life, you will miss what you had in front of you the whole time … trust me watch you will see. (sic)’

His most recent message to Brown comes days after he finally broke his silence on widespread concern from fans worried he could have been abused by Sean ‘Diddy Combs’ during his early years in the music industry.

Combs – who has denied all allegations – faces charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, and could spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted.

On Thursday, days into the 55-year-old rapper’s ongoing trial, Justin’s spokesperson told TMZ: ‘Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him.

‘Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.’
