Chris Brown, the American R&B star, is facing a $50 million lawsuit related to a series of alleged attacks during his 11:11 tour in Fort Worth, Texas.
The lawsuit also names the singer’s confidante Sinko Ceej,
rapper Yella Beezy, and the corporation Live Nation.
According to TMZ, the new lawsuit accuses the singer of
orchestrating the assault of four men backstage at the Fort Worth stop of his
tour on July 20.
The plaintiffs, Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush,
and Da Marcus Powell, claim that they were invited backstage for a post-concert
hang with 40 women, but ended up being assaulted.
According to the lawsuit, Bush mentioned that he approached
Brown to offer congratulations for a well-received performance, but Brown then
instructed his associates to physically assault him when reminded of their
previous disagreement.
Bush stated that he was attacked by a group of 7-10
individuals from Brown's entourage who punched and kicked him. Additionally, he
alleged that a member of the entourage, known as Hood Boss, threw a chair at
his head.
The plaintiffs further claimed that Brown dispatched Yella
Beezy and others to harm Parker, leading to a pursuit that ended in a dead-end
staircase with a locked door.
Parker claimed that he was assaulted by Brown and his
companions for over 10 minutes, resulting in severe injuries that required
medical treatment.
Their lawyer, Tony Buzbee, stated that one of the victims is
still hospitalized and is determined to hold Brown accountable.
The plaintiffs have requested $50 million in damages and
have also sought restraining orders against Chris Brown, Beezy, and Sinko Ceej.
Chris Brown and his team have not yet responded to the accusations.
It is worth noting that Brown has a history of legal
troubles, including a high-profile criminal case in which he admitted to
assaulting his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
