Chris Brown Sued for $50 Million over Alleged Assault of Four Concertgoers Post-Show in Texas

Chris Brown has been sued for $50 million following an incident backstage at one of his concerts last Friday.

Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush and Da Marcus Powell filed the suit in Harris County, Texas on Monday against Brown as well as his tour promoter Live Nation, Sinko Ceej, Hood Boss and Yella Beezy. 

In addition to, the four plaintiffs are asking for a temporary restraining order against all defendants.

According to the complaint, Brown and his crew severely beat the plaintiffs following the singer’s performance as part of his "11:11" Tour at Dickies Arena in Ft. Worth, Texas this past Friday. 

The four men were invited backstage after the set to meet Brown, who showed up 30 minutes later than scheduled.

Before leaving, Bush approached Brown to congratulate him on the show, prompting a member of the rapper's entourage to remind Brown that the two previously had issues. 

Brown allegedly said, “Oh yeah, we were. What’s up, n—a? I don’t forget s—t.” 

The suit states that Brown and seven to 10 members of his entourage proceeded to assault Bush and punch him in the chest, and claims Hood Boss picked up a chair and threw it at his head.

The suit claims that Brown and his crew turned their attention to Parker, who tried to escape down a staircase that led to a locked door. Upon instruction from Brown, Parker was allegedly punched in the face and chest and kicked in the head for over 10 minutes. 

It also states that Powell was punched in the shoulder, while Lewis was hit in the shoulder and chest. All plaintiffs were injured and are currently undergoing medical treatment.

“No should have to endure what these clients endured,” said the plaintiffs’ attorney Tony Buzbee in a statement. “We will seek the maximum amount of damages allowed by law for this egregious conduct.”

This marks the latest legal issue for Brown, who has been accused of violent misconduct in the past. 

In 2009, he pleaded guilty to assaulting his then-partner Rihanna, and three years later was involved in an altercation with Drake at a New York City club. 

The rapper was also sued by his former manager for assault and battery in 2016, and a year later his ex-partner Karreuche Tran got a five-year restraining order against him over alleged threats.
