American R&B star Chris Brown, along with his friend Sinko Ceej, rapper Yella Beezy, and the corporation Live Nation, are being sued for $50 million.
The lawsuit is linked to alleged attacks that happened during Brown’s 11:11 tour in Fort Worth, Texas.
The lawsuit claims that Brown organized the assault of four men backstage at his concert on July 20, as reported by TMZ.
The men, named Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell, said they were invited backstage for a post-concert hangout with about 40 women. However, they ended up being attacked.
According to the suit, Bush tried to congratulate Brown on his show, but Brown ordered his men to beat him up because of a past dispute. Bush claims that 7-10 of Brown’s men punched and kicked him, and that a member of Brown’s entourage, known as Hood Boss, threw a chair at his head.
The plaintiffs also allege that Brown sent Yella Beezy and some of his men to assault Parker, who was chased into a dead-end staircase. Parker said he was punched and kicked in the head for over 10 minutes after Brown encouraged his companions to join in.
The men say they suffered serious injuries and needed medical treatment. Their lawyer, Tony Buzbee, stated that at least one of them is still hospitalized and promised to hold Chris Brown accountable.
Besides seeking $50 million in damages, the plaintiffs have also requested restraining orders against Brown, Beezy, and Sinko Ceej.
Chris Brown and his team have not yet responded to the allegations. Brown has faced legal issues before, notably pleading guilty to assaulting his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
