Chris Brown and rapper Yella Beezy are in hot water after being hit with a $50 million lawsuit following an alleged assault at a concert in Fort Worth, Texas. The lawsuit, filed in Houston, accuses the artists and their entourage of attacking four men—Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Damarcus Powell—after a show on July 20.
The lawsuit claims the men were violently assaulted by Brown’s group, including being kicked, stomped, and beaten. The complaint names not only Chris Brown and Yella Beezy but also UK rapper Sinko Ceej, Omololu “Hood Boss” Akinlolu, and major promoter Live Nation Worldwide, Inc. The plaintiffs are seeking compensation for medical bills, emotional distress, and other damages.
The incident allegedly occurred after the concert at the Dickies Arena, where the men had been invited backstage to Brown’s VIP area. After being asked to leave their phones at a table, the men waited for about 30 minutes before deciding to leave. As they were about to exit, Charles Bush approached Brown to congratulate him, which reportedly led to the violent confrontation.
The lawsuit aims to hold Chris Brown, Yella Beezy, and their associates accountable for the alleged attack.
