Chris Brown, the superstar of the R&B world, finds himself ensnared in a costly lawsuit reaching $50 million. Known to fans for his lively performances, Brown has now grabbed headlines with words like ‘lawsuit’ and ‘backstage assault’ being linked to his name. The lawsuit has its roots in a rowdy after-party incident following the singer’s concert in Fort Worth, Texas.
Backstage Meet-and-Greet Turns Violent
On an evening in mid-July, four fans—Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Da Marcus Powell—came forward with a lawsuit claiming a violent encounter with Chris Brown’s crew. According to initial reports by TMZ, the unfortunate drama unfolded within the confines of Dickies Arena after a Chris Brown concert.
The fans making the claims were among 40 others who enjoyed VIP backdoor access to the artist’s events. However, things took an unpleasant turn when a man from Brown’s team brought up an old disagreement. The claimants allege that Chris Brown commanded his team, a small crowd of seven to ten men, to lash out at Charles Bush.
Witnesses describe a frightening scene with the Chris Brown team allegedly tossing punches and kicks, and even flinging a chair at Bush. Meanwhile, rapper Yella Beezy is also said to have chased Larry Parker into a dead-end, trapping him in a ten-minute-long alleged physical assault.
What We Know About the Case
Late in July, Tony Buzbee, lawyer for the four fans, took to Instagram to shed light on the allegations. As revealed by Buzbee, police reports have been filed regarding the encounter. Furthermore, he stated that although each of the four fans involved in the lawsuit suffered injuries, one continues to stay in hospital care.
A recent image showing Chris Brown and Yella Beezy together backstage has emerged online. Nonetheless, neither of these stars has addressed the lawsuit or alleged physical assault publicly.
