Two police officials say US singer Chris Brown and two other people are in custody in Paris after a woman filed a rape complaint.
One police official said the complaint was filed with police in the 17th arrondissement of northwest Paris.
The official said one of the others detained is Brown’s bodyguard.
Both officials said Brown was detained on Monday and is still in custody on Tuesday while police study the complaint.
Neither is authorised to be publicly named discussing the investigation.
Brown’s publicists at Sony Music would not immediately comment on the complaint or say what Brown, 29, was doing in Paris.
Brown has been in repeated legal trouble since pleading guilty to the felony assault in 2009 of his then-girlfriend, Rihanna.
He completed his probation in that case in 2015.
One of Brown’s bodyguards is among the others detained, according to a Paris police official.
The woman who filed the complaint said she met Brown and his friends at the club Le Crystal in the 17th arrondissement of northwestern Paris on Wednesday, and then they all went to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel near the Concorde Plaza in central Paris, according to the official.
Neither official was authorised to be publicly named discussing the investigation.
