Chris Brown's entire career over the past decade has been riddled with clouded by controversy. This year, specifically, he was accused of raping a woman in France, got into beef with Offset, and recently agreed to have his home investigated in another case where his friend is accused of sexually assaulting a woman at Breezy's house. On top of all of that, he's dealing with charges from 2017 stemming from an alleged assault against a photographer. Now, he's reportedly set to grill the man as he builds his case.

Bennie Vines is set to be deposed by Breezy on May 31st. The singer will question the man about the alleged assault in Tampa, FL that landed Breezy a felony battery charge. Vines, who said he was hired to take photos at the club, accused Brown of aggressively trying to get him out of his way. Vines said that he tried to explain to the singer that he was simply taking photos since it was his job but things escalated further and he claims Brown punched him in the lip.

Breezy left the nightclub but he was later charged for the alleged incident. He's pleaded not guilty to the felony battery charge and his trial is scheduled for later this year.

We'll keep you posted on any more updates on Brown's legal situation.
