00:00Chris Brown. And he is today facing charges in the UK where he was arrested at a hotel.
00:10But I got to imagine this came as a huge shock to Chris because what he was arrested for was
00:15something that happened almost two years ago, actually more than two years ago, I believe,
00:19when he was in the UK at a club and allegedly threw a bottle that was smashed on the head of a
00:31record exec who was in the club that night. There was a civil lawsuit. Yeah, we knew that
00:36there was a civil lawsuit filed over this fight. But we had no idea that there were criminal charges
00:41being investigated. And obviously there were because he had just recently touched down in
00:46the UK, arrived at the hotel and they scooped him up. Yeah. So really serious situation for Chris
00:53Brown here. We thought that this was sort of a couple of years old. We had reported upon on the
00:57civil case, but now it's sort of reemerged. It appears that unbeknownst to everybody that the
01:03criminal investigation was ongoing. I guess they had issued the arrest warrant some time ago,
01:07but they were waiting for him to reappear in the UK. Apparently Chris had no idea either or
01:11presumably. Yeah, why would he have gone? Yeah, he wouldn't have gone if he would have known.
01:14Right. We didn't hear about it. We had no idea. Just real quick, I'm just going to test your
01:19memory. Oh boy. This is not going to go well. No, I think you'll remember. There was a huge
01:24incident between the nightclub. At the nightclub in New York. What was the name? It was called
01:28Dream Nightclub. No, no, no. No. Whip. Whip. Whip. It was Whip. Oh my God. I did get it. Yes,
01:34I corrected myself once it came up on the screen. Well, that's what I was thinking. I was just thinking
01:38of it when I heard this because it reminded me of that. Whip Nightclub. That's right. That was back when
01:43Drake and Chris were battling about Rihanna. And bottles were thrown. Yes. Hey, this is
01:49Gentry from Georgia. And this situation with Chris Brown is really unfortunate. Obviously,
01:54if Chris Brown would have known that he had a warrant in Manchester, he would have never
01:58went. The question is, how long is he going to be in jail? And will there be a hope to his
02:04tour now that he's locked up?
