Chris Brown and Associates Sued for $50 Million Over Alleged Attacks on Tour

American R&B star Chris Brown, his confidante Sinko Ceej, rapper Yella Beezy, and Live Nation have been named in a $50 million lawsuit following a series of alleged attacks on Brown’s 11:11 tour in Fort Worth, Texas.

According to the lawsuit, the assault occurred backstage at the Fort Worth stop of Brown’s tour on July 20. The plaintiffs, Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell, claimed they were invited backstage and escorted there, along with 40 women, for a post-concert hang. However, they ended up being assaulted.

Charles Bush, one of the plaintiffs, alleged that he was attacked by Brown’s entourage after one of them reminded him of their beef. He claimed he was surrounded by 7-10 of Brown’s men who punched and kicked him, and an entourage member known as Hood Boss threw a chair at his head.

The plaintiffs also alleged that Brown sent Yella Beezy and some of his men to “f*** up” Parker, chasing him into a dead-end staircase with a locked door. Parker said he was punched and kicked in the head for more than 10 minutes after Brown encouraged all of his companions to get a piece of the action.

The plaintiffs suffered severe injuries and had to undergo various medical treatments. Their attorney, Tony Buzbee, said at least one of them remains hospitalized and vowed to bring CB to justice. In addition to the $50 million in damages, the plaintiffs have also filed for restraining orders against Chris, Beezy, and Sinko Ceej.

Chris Brown and his team have yet to react to the allegations. Brown has faced legal issues in the past, most infamously in a criminal case when he pleaded guilty to having assaulted his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

The lawsuit is a shocking development in the already tumultuous career of Chris Brown, who has been plagued by controversy and legal issues for years. As the investigation unfolds, fans and critics alike will be watching to see how Brown and his team respond to these serious allegations.
