Singer-songwriter Chris Brown faces a $50 million lawsuit over an alleged backstage altercation at one of his recent concerts.
The lawsuit, filed in Harris County, Texas, names Brown, his tour promoter Live Nation, and several other individuals associated with the incident.
The plaintiffs Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell are seeking damages and a temporary restraining order against all defendants.
The legal action, first reported by TMZ and confirmed by Variety, stems from claims that Brown and his entourage assaulted the plaintiffs following a performance at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, during his 11:11 Tour.
The lawsuit claims that the four men went backstage to meet Brown, who showed up about 30 minutes late.
The situation escalated when Bush attempted to congratulate Brown on his performance.
An exchange ensued when a member of Brown’s crew reminded the singer of past grievances with Bush.
Brown reportedly responded with a hostile remark, “Oh yeah, we were. What’s up, n****? I don’t forget shit.”
The lawsuit alleges that Brown, along with seven to ten members of his entourage, then attacked Bush, hitting him in the chest.
The complaint further accuses a member of the entourage, identified as Hood Boss, of throwing a chair at Bush’s head.
The plaintiffs are demanding substantial financial compensation and immediate legal protection to address what they describe as severe and unprovoked violence.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the incident has drawn significant media attention, putting the spotlight on Brown’s ongoing controversies and his team’s conduct.
