American R&B star Chris Brown, his confidante Sinko Ceej, rapper Yella Beezy, and the corporation Live Nation are named in a $50 million lawsuit over alleged attacks during Brown’s 11:11 tour in Fort Worth, Texas.
According to TMZ, the lawsuit claims Brown orchestrated the assault of four men backstage at the Fort Worth concert on July 20. Plaintiffs Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell allege they were invited backstage with 40 women for a post-concert gathering but were assaulted instead.
Bush claims he was beaten by 7-10 of Brown’s men, one of whom threw a chair at him, after congratulating Brown. Parker alleges he was chased into a dead-end staircase and beaten for over 10 minutes by Brown’s entourage, including Yella Beezy.
The plaintiffs suffered severe injuries requiring medical treatment, with at least one still hospitalized. Their attorney, Tony Buzbee, vowed to bring Brown to justice and has filed for restraining orders against Brown, Beezy, and Sinko Ceej in addition to seeking $50 million in damages.
Chris Brown and his team have not yet responded to the allegations. Brown has a history of legal issues, including a guilty plea for assaulting his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
