Houston, Texas – R&B singer Chris Brown and members of his entourage are facing a $50 million lawsuit following allegations of a violent assault against four concert attendees. The lawsuit, filed in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, accuses Brown and his entourage of attacking the men at a concert in Fort Worth on July 20.
The lawsuit names Brown, along with Cinko Ceej, Hood Boss (Omolulu Omari Akinlolu), Yella Beezy (Markies Deandre Conway), and Live Nation, the promoter of Brown’s 11:11 Tour. The incident was described as unprovoked, with the plaintiffs being surrounded, chairs thrown at them, and physically assaulted.
The victims, Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Damarcus Powell, are seeking $50 million in damages. The Fort Worth Police Department has confirmed an ongoing investigation into the matter, with a police report already generated.
According to the lawsuit, the attack involved multiple physical strikes to the victims’ heads and chests, resulting in severe injuries. The victims’ attorney, Tony Buzbee, emphasized the importance of holding Brown and his associates accountable for their actions.
The lawsuit details how after the concert, the men were invited to a VIP area where Brown allegedly instructed the women present to surrender their phones. When Brown returned and was approached by one of the men to congratulate him, Brown allegedly ordered his entourage to physically harm the man.
All four victims reported receiving medical treatment, with one being hospitalized due to head injuries sustained during the assault. This lawsuit is just one of the legal troubles Brown has faced, including previous incidents involving assault allegations.
In a separate legal matter, Brown was ordered to pay nearly $2 million to City National Bank after failing to make payments on a loan taken out for two Popeyes restaurant locations. The judgment was confirmed by a Los Angeles court in March.
